The Chiefs scored four times in the second quarter for the second consecutive game, and only needed one more score to come away with the win.

The Ravens scored on a 14-play drive early on, but their dry spell that lasted from 4:24 in the first quarter to 10:35 in the third ended up dooming their chances.

The Chicago Bears did something very few teams have accomplished since 2000 — defeating the Broncos in Denver in the first two weeks of September during a wild 16-14 victory. As my colleague R.J.
