10. Kansas City Chiefs (10)

Instead of dealing with one of the biggest upsets from Week 1, the Kansas City Chiefs rallied by overcoming a 17-point deficit to defeat the Chargers in overtime.

After finishing 2015 on a 10-game winning streak along with advancing to the Divisional Round of the playoffs, the Chiefs enter the regular season as one of the teams to beat in the AFC. So when they came out and struggled early on against the Chargers, it was easy to see why there was a reason for concern.

Nothing against San Diego, but between playing at home and the defensive presence on Kansas City, there’s no reason why this game should have been what it was in the first half. Hopefully, the Chiefs learned their lesson moving forward, and find ways to start off games on a hot note instead of making things difficult by playing catch up in the second half.
