Seventh game, seventh win: The <a href="https://www.archysport.com/2022/01/influential-nfl-players-of-2021/" title="Influential NFL Players Of 2021″>Kansas City Chiefs are still on track in the NFL. Behind them there is a chasing group that looks different than what was expected before the match day.
The Kansas City Chiefs have extended their winning streak in the NFL and are the only team undefeated after seven games. In Las Vegas, where the Chiefs won the Super Bowl in February, quarterback Patrick Mahomes‘ team beat the Raiders 27:20. Mahomes had two touchdown passes, but after a mistake he had to rely on his defense, which didn’t let the Raiders get into the end zone from three yards out. The Chiefs want to become the first team in NFL history to win the Super Bowl for the third time in a row.
Unexpectedly, the Washington Commanders around German blocker Brandon Coleman are among the teams with six wins – thanks to a spectacular final scene that is already one of the moments of the season. With 12:15 left and the clock running out, quarterback Jayden Daniels threw the ball 52 yards into the end zone for the winning touchdown. “It’s crazy, you just feel the energy in the stadium,” Daniels said. The Commanders had scored all of their previous points through field goals. With the win, the team defended first place in the NFC East ahead of the Philadelphia Eagles, who had previously won 37:17 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Detroit Lions around Amon-Ra St. Brown, who scored a touchdown in the 52:14 against the Tennessee Titans in the fifth game in a row, as well as the Buffalo Bills (31:10 against the Seattle Seahawks) and Houston also have six wins Texans (23:20 against the Indianapolis Colts) and the Green Bay Packers (30:27 against the Jacksonville Jaguars).
The Baltimore Ravens are not part of this chasing group after their surprising 24:29 defeat against the Cleveland Browns. For the Browns, who had previously only won one of six games, Jameis Winston impressed as quarterback in the first game after Deshaun Watson’s injury.
