**Chiefs Dominate NFL with Perfect Start, Secure Top Power Ranking**

In a bid to achieve an unprecedented feat in modern NFL history, the Kansas City Chiefs have emerged as the last unbeaten team, boasting a stellar record. Following the Minnesota Vikings' narrow defeat to the Detroit Lions, the Chiefs find themselves unrivaled with a 6-0 start. Remarkably, this is the Chiefs' first such start since 2013, a testament to the transformative tenure of head coach Andy Reid and the dynamic prowess of quarterback Patrick Mahomes, despite the team's sustained success since Mahomes took command in 2018.

Their dominance is evident as they clinched the number one spot in The Post's Week 8 power rankings. Their recent victory mirrored past Super Bowl triumphs against the San Francisco 49ers, marking another chapter in their ongoing rivalry. Mahomes showcased his versatility, overcoming two interceptions and making crucial plays, including a career-long 33-yard scramble and his first rushing touchdown of the season. Additionally, Kareem Hunt's contribution with two rushing touchdowns solidified their offensive prowess.

Meanwhile, the Detroit Lions experienced a surge in performance, orchestrated by standout plays from Jahmyr Gibbs, who rushed for 116 yards and scored two touchdowns. Jared Goff's exceptional form continued as he became one of only four quarterbacks in NFL history to achieve a passer rating of 140-plus with no turnovers in three consecutive games. Jake Bates' precise 44-yard game-winning field goal sealed a dramatic 31-29 victory against the previously unbeaten Vikings, despite a valiant comeback attempt led by Justin Jefferson and Aaron Jones.

In another exciting matchup, the Ravens overcame a sluggish start against the Buccaneers, propelled by a stunning performance from Lamar Jackson. Jackson threw four touchdown passes, aiding their 34-10 victory. Contributions from Derrick Henry, who logged 100 rushing yards, and Rashod Bateman, with 100 receiving yards, highlighted their balanced attack.

The Green Bay Packers also made headlines with a dramatic win over the Texans. Brandon McManus, in his Packers debut, clinched victory with a 45-yard field goal as time expired, part of a thrilling match that saw seven lead changes. Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud struggled, throwing for a career-low 86 yards, though Joe Mixon's impressive 115 yards and two touchdowns were notable.

The Washington Commanders showcased their depth, overcoming the loss of rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels with Marcus Mariota stepping up to lead a 40-7 rout of the Panthers. Mariota threw for 205 yards and two touchdowns, underscoring the Commanders' offensive resilience.

Conversely, the Pittsburgh Steelers saw a significant change as head coach Mike Tomlin's decision to bench Justin Fields paid off. Russell Wilson's stellar performance led to a 37-15 victory over the Jets, who continued to search for answers despite adding Davante Adams and the anticipated arrival of Haason Reddick.

Finally, the Philadelphia Eagles delivered a crushing blow to the New York Giants, with former Giant Saquon Barkley running for 176 yards and a touchdown in a decisive 28-3 victory. The Giants' offense struggled immensely, amassing only 119 total yards and yielding eight sacks, exacerbated by the absence of left tackle Andrew Thomas. This string of performances highlights the dynamic and ever-changing landscape of the NFL as the season progresses.
