Both teams are in first place in their respective conference as they strive to get back to the Super Bowl.

There has been a cloud of mystery surrounding Kadarius Toney dating all the way back to the offseason. Questions of whether he can stay healthy and produce like a true No. 1 wide receiver have been legitimate concerns.

After a disastrous Week 1, Toney’s usage has been sparingly at best. Taking it easy with him is probably best for now, but eventually, the Chiefs will need him to step up and be a significant playmaker if they’re going to improve offensively and make another championship run.

While the Chiefs were enjoying the week off, things fell into place very nicely for them on Sunday. The Baltimore Ravens, who have been hot on K.C.’s heels, lost to the Cleveland Browns and fell to 7-3 on the season.

The Chiefs currently have the tiebreaker over Baltimore because they have fewer conference losses. Other AFC foes such as the Cincinnati Bengals, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Los Angeles Chargers also lost on Sunday. The Chiefs will control their own destiny for the final eight weeks of the season.

It’s safe to say that second-year cornerback Trent McDuffie is now among the elite at his position. He has become perhaps the most important player on the Kansas City Chiefs’ defense and will be a vital part of the team’s success for the foreseeable future.

A ranking from Pro Football Focus shows that rookie receiver Rashee Rice needs a big boost in targets, and Patrick Mahomes is still racking up passing yards despite being perceived as having a down year.

What’s happening in Chiefs Kingdom?

The Kansas City Chiefs are entering their bye week with a full head of steam and will look to maintain the momentum they’ve built ahead of their next game against the Philadelphia Eagles at Arrowhead Stadium.

Currently, the Chiefs sit atop ESPN’s football power index rankings as the NFL’s top team, and linebacker Willie Gay Jr. graded out as the third-best defender in the league in Week 9. Hall of Fame receiver Michael Irvin recognized Kansas City’s dominance and gave the Chiefs their flowers on “Undisputed” earlier this week.

Chiefs Check-in: Chiefs are a defensive team

It’s time to admit a weird truth: The Kansas City Chiefs are a defensive football team. It’s weird because they have been synonymous with high-powered offense during the Andy Reid era, and especially during the Patrick Mahomes era. A nine-game sample size is enough proof, however, to safely say that K.C.’s strongest unit is its defense, and it isn’t particularly close.

The Chiefs got back into the win column on Sunday with a big win over the Dolphins on Sunday. K.C.’s offense found the endzone twice in the first half and the defense added a touchdown to create a 21-0 halftime lead. The second half was a bit of a different story as the Chiefs’ offense went ice-cold and didn’t score another point.

The defense began to tire out as the Dolphins found some momentum, but it buckled down on the final drive and secured the victory. K.C.’s defense held Miami’s explosive offense to 14 points and Tua Tagovailoa to under 200 passing yards. Former Chief Tyreek Hill was held in check with under eight yards per catch and no touchdowns.

Between coming off an ugly loss to the Broncos and standing pat at the trade deadline, it’s been a bit of a dramatic week for Kansas City. However, a big bounce-back win over a good Dolphins team will cure a lot of emotions. The Chiefs have to find a way to get into the endzone on a more consistent basis, and the wide receiving corps has to tighten up the mistakes.
