Chiefs Let's rank the AFC teams since we have nothing else to do. - Page 2

Here's how I'd rank the teams right now.

1. Chiefs
2. Ravens
3. Bills
4. Texans
5. Bengals
6. Steelers
7. Jets
8. Broncos
9. Chargers
10. Colts
11. Raiders
12. Jaguars
13. Dolphins
14. Browns
15. Patriots
16. Titans

I'd say the Ravens/Chiefs are about even, but I'm giving to the Chiefs by a toe.

Thoughts?

16. Raiders.

I'm sorry but no. Those bottom four teams are locked into their slots.

They are all so damn bad.

I would be astonished if both stay this effective all year.

Henry is on pace for nearly 300 touches. Lamar is on pace for 150 carries again.

Man, I don't know.

Everything we know and have seen suggests you're right. But I think Lamar may have found a way to play like Lamar and stay healthy.

And Henry, man. I was bearish on the Ravens all preseason for the exact reason you mentioned. But he just seems like he's not slowing down.

Lamar didn’t finish either of the two seasons prior to last season.

It just takes one fluke play to slow him down. And all those carries increase the likelihood of it. He isn’t as foolish as Josh Allen with taking big hits, but that’s a lot of guys going for his legs on those runs.

If one goes down, expect the other to get even more work too.

Again, history strongly suggests you're right.

These Hall of Fame talents though are the types who buck it. That's the biggest reason I tend to be skeptical.

The bottom 5 are just....awful.

The Colts are fiesty but the rest are just bad.

Why are people ranking Cincinnati so high? They're unlikely to make the playoffs. Yeah, they give the Chiefs fits, but that doesn't make the Colts or Titans a threat to us.

elite QBs + elite DCs are very hard to beat

I just ... haven't liked what the Texans have put out there as much as I have the Bills. I really like Stroud and the talent they've given him. The defense has upside. I feel like they aren't putting it together as thoroughly as the Bills are.

dont really understand that bc the bills look like dogshit against any competent team and had no weapons before cooper whereas the texans have high end talent all over their lineup and have not looked like dogshit in any game
