The Kansas City Chiefs are still the team to beat in the league.
In full Kansas City Chiefs fashion, they survived another nail-bitter on Sunday.
Once again, they got the last laugh with a game-winning field goal.
Even so, as much as they keep finding ways to win, they don’t look like the best team in the NFL at the moment.
With that in mind, former NFL star Chris Canty shared his updated list of the five biggest challengers they have right now (via ESPN Radio):

At No. 5, Canty chose the Minnesota Vikings.
Kevin O’Connell’s team made a big statement in Kirk Cousins’ return to the Twin Cities, with Sam Darnold throwing five touchdown passes in the win.
Then, he chose the Pittsburgh Steelers, who continue to sit atop the AFC North.
Mike Tomlin’s team keeps riding high, and they’re fresh off getting back at the Cleveland Browns in their rematch.
At No. 3, Canty gave the Buffalo Bills the nod, even after their latest loss.
Josh Allen threw three touchdown passes and ran for another three in a two-point heartbreaking loss, further cementing his MVP case.
He later chose the Philadelphia Eagles, a team that continues to impress down the stretch.
They overcame a great performance by the surging Carolina Panthers to keep their winning streak going.
Unsurprisingly, he gave the Detroit Lions the nod at No .1.
Dan Campbell’s team has only lost one game all season, and they have the best offense in the league.
