4. Kansas City Chiefs – 6-2

The Kansas City Chiefs entered Week without their starting quarterback. Alex Smith sat out this week after suffering a concussion in week eight. Nick Foles stepped in to carry the Chiefs to a 19-14 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Chiefs were without five of their offensive starters. The defense sacked Blake Bortles twice, grabbed an interception and recovered three fumbles. They also stopped the Jags on a fourth down with under two minutes left in the game to seal their victory.

Foles struggled, going  20-of-33 for 187 yards and one touchdown. But he did just enough to keep the Chiefs ahead in the game. Travis Kelce grabbed five receptions for 58 yards before being ejected in the fourth quarter for two unsportsmanlike penalties.

They were without a good portion of their offense this week and will need to get some back in order to keep winning. The Chiefs have won every game since their bye-week. They are currently in second in the AFC West, but have beaten the number one team once this season.

This was the Chiefs 10 straight home win. Up next is the defending NFC Champion Carolina Panthers. The Chiefs will need Smith back under center calling the offense. They will also need to produce a run game so Smith isn’t attacked by the Panther defense.
