They have become the team to beat in the NFL and have yet to lose at Arrowhead Stadium this season.
ESPN recently asked 111 football stars to rank the toughest places to play in the NFL.
It was Kansas that led the standings with 57 points, 15.5 points ahead of the Seattle Seahawks' Lumen Field and 28.5 points ahead of the Minnesota Vikings' U.S. Bank Stadium.
Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Sebastian Joseph Day explained what makes the Chiefs so tough to beat in their own backyard.
“I think the aura and the fans are crazy,” he said. “They're so loud, you can't even hear yourself think sometimes.
“And obviously Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce are a great duo.
“They feed off that energy, their defense feeds off of it as well, Chris Jones and those with them.
“It's crazy.”
Denver Broncos rookie Noah Fant remembers a particularly intense atmosphere when the Chiefs hosted his team in a snowy game in December 2019.
“I thought it was a blizzard, and there wouldn't be a lot of fans there,” Fant said. “It was still pretty loud, and they were going crazy.”
Other teams whose stadiums ranked in the top 10 in voting were the Philadelphia Eagles, Buffalo Bills, New Orleans Saints, Denver Broncos, Green Bay Packers, Pittsburgh Steelers and Detroit Lions.
