KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs have won two straight games heading into their off week.
Try to imagine that a few weeks back.
The Chiefs lost their first two games by a combined 89-10, but have started to look like the defending AFC West champions the past two weeks, with wins over Minnesota and Indianapolis.
There is a loose atmosphere in the locker room for the first time all season. And while nobody was ready to give up on the season at 0-3, there is a tangible sense that Kansas City still has a realistic shot of defending its division title.
The next step comes in two weeks against division rival Oakland.
