The Chiefs are off to the second-best start in franchise history, and can match the 2003 team that won its first nine games on Sunday at Buffalo. They've done it primarily by leaning on special teams and defense, which is on pace to set several NFL records.
The defense was at it again last weekend. The Browns closed within a field goal early in the second half, but Kansas City kept repelling them down the stretch. The Chiefs finally tacked on a sealing field goal in the closing seconds to wrap up the 23-17 victory,Rams Jersey Super Bowl, giving them eight wins in a season for just the second time in the past seven years.
