The Kansas City Chiefs are back on top of our weekly power rankings, because they’re the NFL’s most complete team. Patrick Mahomes has the offense firing on all cylinders again, ranking among the top third in yards per play (5.7) and fifth overall in offensive efficiency (0.12 expected points added per play, a measure of how much each snap adds to scoring chances). Add in a solid defense that is playing particularly well on third down, and it’s clear why they’re back in the contenders mix.
