the Arizona Cardinals 26-14 at Arrowhead on Sunday — but thanks to the New England Patriots losing to the Tennessee Titans 34-10 over the weekend Breeland Speaks Jersey , the Chiefs returned to second place in our weekly aggregation of pundit power rankings. Pundit Power Rankings for Week 11Chiefs AFC West Teams Other AFC TeamsHere's what the pundits we're tracking said about the Chiefs this week:ESPN (2nd from 2nd)NFL.com (Elliot Harrison - 2nd from 3rd)SBNation (Rebecca Toback - 2nd from 4th)Sporting News (Vinnie Iyer - 2nd from 3rd)Yahoo! Sports (Frank Schwab - 1st from 1st)CBS Sports (Pete Prisco - 3rd from 4th)USA Today (Nate Davis - 2nd from 4th)Other power rankings we noticed this week:AtlantaFalcons.com (Matt Tabeek — 3rd from 4th) Not their most impressive performance, but a win nonetheless. Now it’s time for what could be a title game matchup vs. the Rams.Jaguars.com (John Oehser — 1st from 1st) Stronger by the week.NJ.com (Joe Giglio — 2nd from 1st) Final score prediction for Monday Night Football in Mexico City: Rams 41, Chiefs 40.Mile High Report (Pete Baron — 2nd from 1st) Make no mistake, the Chiefs still won, but dare I say that the Broncos looked like a more dominant team ON THE ROAD against the Cardinals than the Chiefs did at home?NBCSports.com (Scott Bair -- 3rd from 4th) Tyreek Hill scored a touchdown (again), and then bested everyone in the TD celebration game. His TV camera takeover was classic, even if ol’ man Reid didn’t like it. And big ups to the end-zone videographer for rolling with the punches there.The Phinsider (Kevin Nogle — 2nd from 3rd) The New Orleans Saints move into the top spot in the rankings, and are probably playing the best football in the country right now. The only team that may be able to challenge that ascertation is the Kansas City Chiefs who look great in the AFC and could be 1a in the rankings.Washington Post (Mark Maske — 2nd from 3rd) Patrick Mahomes has raised the expectations for himself so much that his 249-yard, two-TD, no-interception performance Sunday against the Cardinals seemed rather ordinary. The Chiefs hope to have WR Sammy Watkins back in the lineup for Monday night’s highly anticipated showdown with the Rams in Mexico City.Just as we saw last week Tanoh Kpassagnon Color Rush Jersey , the Chiefs’ Week 11 pundit ranking has less to do with what the Chiefs did than what other teams did.In the view of the pundits, the Chiefs did what they were supposed to do: they beat an inferior team at home.But the New Orleans Saints — already a near-consensus number one pick last week — walloped the Cincinnati Bengals even worse than the Chiefs did in Week 7.So the Chiefs basically had no chance to rise to the top spot this week.But Kansas City rose to second because the Patriots lost by a large margin to an above-average team, and the Los Angeles Rams had a relatively narrow win against a below-average team.The way the pundits looked at it, the Rams did nothing to deserve rising above third, while the Patriots did plenty to drop out of second.So rather than being the odd team out — as they were last week — the Chiefs ended up being the odd team in.Anyway... that’s my best guess on how the pundits puzzled out the teams in the top tier.The pundits thought it was time for the Philadelphia Eagles to drop our of the top ten, and for the Chicago Bears to take their place.The bottom ten teams remained unchanged, and in the middle, the Titans were rewarded with the biggest rise of the week, moving up six places in the aggregated rankings.Snark of the weekThis week’s winning entry comes from Scott Bair of NBCSports.com, who revealed a secret wish of sportswriters — that they could somehow erase the public’s memory of previous predictions — when speaking of the Bengals:By the way https://www.thechiefsfanshop.com/Eric-Fisher-Jersey , Scott... it’s called a neuralyzer.And you should have been here for the Zeronian migration of 1968.So did the Chiefs perform well enough in their Week 10 outing that they will remain in the top spot of the Week 11 Arrowhead Pride True Power Rankings?On Wednesday, we’ll fold in the data from the number-crunchers, and find out. The Kansas City Chiefs welcomed back veteran safety Daniel Sorensen to the roster this week, using their first of two allotted activations from injured reserve on the season. Sorensen suffered a tibial plateau fractured in his left knee during Chiefs training camp but has since recovered and appears to be ready to go.Wednesday marked Sorensen’s first practice as a member of the Chiefs’ active roster since camp, even though he had already been practicing with the team for two weeks.“Dan has been out there running around the last couple weeks,” head coach Andy Reid said Wednesday. “He has done well with it. We will just see. We will see how he goes. We will see how he does during practice here.”According to the Chiefs’ official injury report, Sorensen had limited participation. Reid said the Chiefs will use the three practices this week to determine how much Sorensen can play against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.Photo by Jason Miller/Getty Images“It is good to have him back out there in whatever capacity he can go at,” Reid added. “I don’t know how much he can play or not play right now. We are looking at it just like you are looking at it. We are just seeing where he is at.”One of the things NFL players and coaches will tell you during training camp in the summer is that a major aspect of the workouts is getting into football shape. While the gym provides a means of staying conditioned, there is no match for on-field drills.That is why the NFL builds in a three-week buffer when a player is returning from injured reserve.“Practicing these last two weeks has been huge as far as conditioning and just being around some bodies moving in different directions and things like that,” Sorensen said. “You can’t simulate everything that’s going to happen in a game Jarvis Jenkins Jersey , but being out there and getting out there this week possibly could help with that conditioning.”While not ideal, missing the first nine games of the NFL season does have its advantages.Off the field, Sorensen still attended meetings and walkthroughs and had the opportunity to interact with his teammates. He said the time spent away from game film allowed him to study and improve upon some personal things.Sorensen also admitted Wednesday that there is a clear advantage to having fresh legs with seven games to play. That said, if Sorensen does play against the Cardinals, it sounds like it might be with simple goals in mind.Photo by Peter Aiken/Getty Images“If it is that I get out there, [my goal is] to just get comfortable being back out there,” he explained. “Being able to have confidence with contact—something that you can’t simulate with the rehab and things like that. That’s kind of my goal—to regain some confidence.”No matter his role Sunday, Sorensen is just the first piece in what the Chiefs hope to be an improved defense as the next few weeks roll along. The preseason plan called for Sorensen and Eric Berry to start at the safety positions, with Justin Houston, who has missed the last four weeks due to a hamstring injury Patrick Mahomes II Color Rush Jersey , to start at the left outside linebacker position.In the trio’s absence, linebackers Dee Ford and Breeland Speaks, as well as safeties Ron Parker, Eric Murray and Jordan Lucas have done an ample job filling the void.But Sorensen said the idea of a complete defense—now that is something to get excited about.“I think that’s a very real thing,” he said. “I’ve certainly thought about it and as we’re pushing toward the second half of the season and down the stretch, that’s going to be key, it’s going to be huge. “The more bodies we can get back and can get healthy, the better I think we can be.”
