It’s the Chiefs’ world and everyone else is just living in it.

Kansas City entered the season hoping to become the first team in NFL history to win three straight Super Bowls, and it’s certainly off to an ideal start with a 7-0 record. While the wins weren’t always pretty at times, strong defense and timely plays from Patrick Mahomes were more than enough to overcome adversity in the game.

It was more of the same Sunday, as the Chiefs beat the Las Vegas Raiders by just seven points, thanks in large part to Mahomes’ two touchdown passes, one of which went to tight end Travis Kelce for the season’s first score.

Although it’s still early in the season, the Chiefs are part of an AFC playoff picture that already appears to be coming together.

No one in the AFC West is within three games of them in the loss column. A similar situation exists for the Buffalo Bills in the AFC East, as they are three games ahead of the 2-5 Miami Dolphins in the loss column. Additionally, the Houston Texans are two games ahead of the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC South.

And Houston just defeated the Colts on Sunday to complete the season sweep, further underscoring its grip on the division.

The AFC North could end up being the only race in the division, as the Steelers still haven’t played the Ravens or Bengals and may have to fend off Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow running talented offenses.

If they do, playoff games against the Chiefs, Texans or Bills could wait.
