KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- If only inspiring victories were counted in the standings, the Kansas City Chiefs would be stuck at 5-2 after eight games. Sunday's 19-14 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars was hardly the kind of thing expected from a team that fancies itself a Super Bowl contender, particularly when playing at home and against one of the NFL's worst teams.
But the win counts, and that's really all that matters. The Chiefs' march toward late-season showdowns with the Denver Broncos and Oakland Raiders and divisional supremacy continues with a fourth straight win to indeed raise their record to 6-2.
