Three weeks of the 2024 season are in the books and only five teams are undefeated. The NFL’s parity has been on full display this season, with 25 teams at either 1-2 or 2-1 right now. Any team can win, and every game is a tossup — but right now a small group are solidifying themselves as the league’s elite.
These are the five teams who find themselves at 3-0 on the season. Today we discuss whether their hot starts are emblematic of big-time runs this season, making them true contenders — or whether these starts are fool’s gold, and disappointment for fans lingers on the horizon. Kansas City Chiefs: Contenders Do we need to really explain this one out? The Chiefs are the masters of understanding the state of football, and adapting to the conditions to churn out a winner.
Not only is this team 3-0, but they’re a strong 3-0 with wins over the Bengals, Ravens, and Falcons — all teams who were earmarked to be contenders in their own right in 2024. That doesn’t necessarily mean the teams Kansas City has beaten are actually great, but at the very least it will ensure the Chiefs are back in the playoffs — where it’s unclear if anyone in the NFL is equipped to actually beat them. Strong line play on both sides of the ball, the best quarterback in football, the best defensive tackle, and opportunistic DBs, Kansas City has it all.
We’re back in broken record territory. It’s going to take a monumental achievement for anyone in the NFL to stop the Chiefs from winn.
