The Chiefs run their record to 5-3 with wins over the Jaguars and Chargers.
Terrell Davis is having a monster season. He earns player of the week honors with 245 rushing yards against the Chargers to take over the NFL rushing lead after eight games:
In other news, Kordell Stewart has progressed at an amazing rate for the New York Giants (who traded for him from the Raiders a year ago), and leads the NFL in passing. Reggie Slack has also come out of nowhere to turn in a nice season for the Bills. Despite big numbers from their QBs, the Giants and Bills are 2-7 and 2-6.
The real story of the NFL season though is Thomas Homco, who leads the NFL with an earth-shattering 13 sacks.
Who the **** is Thomas Homco, you ask? I have no idea either:

Strangely enough, Homco's season hasn't paid dividends for the Panthers, who are 2-6 and have allowed 27 points a game, partially thanks to the geriatric Boomer Esiason's 13 interceptions.
In other news, the Chiefs will surely regret letting Rich Gannon escape to San Francisco, as he leads the NFL in TD passes and has the 49ers at 5-2-1 and in first place in the NFC West.
The Chiefs are two games back of AFC leading 7-1 Denver, who has put together an impressive squad with the #2 offense and defense, leading the NFL with 37 sacks. Rookie WR Eddie Kennison has turned in a nice season for Denver with 530 yards and 4 TD.
AFC notes: Steve Young and Cincinnati are 6-2.
Ravens rookie WR Terrell Owens has 458 yards and 5 TD
Texans rookie MLB Ray Lewis has piled up 76 tackles and 5 PD for the 30th ranked Texans defense.
NFC notes: Tampa Bay and Steve McNair, who has 18 TD passes, lead the NFC at 7-1.
Virtual Eddie George is averaging 3.4 YPC. What an accurate sim this is!
Falcons rookie WR Marvin Harrison has 446 yards and 3 TD.
