2. Kansas City Chiefs
The Kansas City Chiefs also had a close win as they defeated the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders 30-29. The offense was superb yet again behind an unusual stat line from Travis Kelce, who only had 25 receiving yards but had four touchdowns. Kansas City's defense was still a little shaky, but the Chiefs have earned their spot atop the AFC.

The defense looks improved from last year, and Buffalo will need every bit of it as they face the Chiefs next.

The Tampa Bay Bucs solidifies their top spot in the NFC South after a 21-15 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Leonard Fournette had a big day rushing and receiving with 56 yards and 83 yards, and two touchdowns, respectively.

16. New Orleans Saints
The New Orleans Saints got a much-needed win, beating the Seattle Seahawks 39-32. Taysom Hill put on a show and led the team with four total touchdowns, three rushing and one passing. New Orleans still needs to fix holes on defense and get some key offensive players back from injury, but this game was a good step in the right direction.
