Chiefs standings: Kansas City stays unbeaten after Week 6 win over Chargers
Kansas City beat the still-winless Chargers on Sunday to stay undefeated in Week 6, while the Browns kept the AFC North lead over a Ravens team still without Lamar Jackson.
Why chiefs standings is trending
People are typing chiefs standings into Google because Kansas City kept its record spotless this weekend. The Chiefs beat a Los Angeles Chargers team that came into Sunday still without a win this season, and the result kept Kansas City undefeated through Week 6 of the 2026 season. That was enough to send fans checking where every AFC team stands after a Sunday slate that reshuffled more than one division race.
The recaps we have call it a comfortable win for Kansas City. They do not include a final score or individual stat lines from the Chiefs-Chargers game itself, so we are not guessing at one. What we can say with certainty is the outcome: the Chiefs won, the Chargers are still looking for win number one, and Kansas City's unbeaten run is intact heading into the next slate of games.
The rest of Sunday reshuffled the standings around them
The AFC North picture shifted again. The Browns held onto first place in the division after Baltimore struggled in its second full game without quarterback Lamar Jackson, with Cleveland coming out on top. In the AFC South, the Titans picked up their first win of the season against a Colts team that has struggled all year.
Elsewhere, results were just as lopsided or just as wild depending on the game. The Steelers needed overtime to get past Jalon Daniels and the Buccaneers, with Aaron Rodgers leading the comeback. The Bills and Raiders put up a shootout that Buffalo came out on top of, and the Packers handled the Cowboys convincingly behind a third-down conversion rate that had been the worst in the league entering the day. In London, C.J. Stroud and the Texans held off the Jaguars in Marvin Harrison Jr.'s debut for Houston.
Not every contender had a good day. The Rams lost another division game, this time to the Cardinals on a field goal as the clock expired, without Los Angeles finding the end zone once. The Eagles dropped their fourth straight game, this time to a surging Carolina offense. The Giants gave up 34 unanswered points to the Saints, a game that is fueling talk of a quarterback competition between Jameis Winston and J.J. McCarthy. And in Chicago, Caleb Williams returned and the Bears beat the Falcons.
What we still don't know, and what happens next
We do not have the Chiefs' full numerical record or where they rank against every unbeaten team left in the league, that detail was not in the recaps we pulled together for this story. What is clear is the direction: Kansas City is still winning, and the Chargers are still looking for their first one.
The league moves straight into the next round of games, and standings will keep shifting from here. The Packers, fresh off beating Dallas, are already looking ahead to a Sunday matchup with the Lions. For the Chiefs and everyone else chasing or defending a spot at the top of the standings, Week 6 is only one more data point in a season that still has a long way to go.
