NFL.com lifts them to No. 4, CBS Sports to No. 6, and ESPN to No. 5, while Bleacher Report and Pro Football Talk sit at No. 7 despite the victory.

While the Colts list him for trade, the Chiefs face competition from the Raiders, Jaguars, Patriots, Rams and 49ers, but an undefeated 5‑0 Chiefs squad makes Kansas City the likely destination ahead of the Nov. 10 deadline.
