After a 31-10 beating the Chiefs offered the 49ers, it shouldn't be the 3-0 record that has people most surprised about the Chiefs, it should be the way they won each of their first three games.

The first victory was over the division favorite San Diego chargers in the middle of a monsoon.  The weather was ugly, the game was ugly, and the Chiefs win was even uglier.  The passing game was non-existent, and so was much of the ground game minus one Jamaal Charles 56-yard touchdown.  The special teams, including a 94-yard Dexter McCluster punt return, was the difference between in this slop-fest.

Week 2 was the Cleveland game, in which the Chiefs traveled to Cleveland to escape with another ugly win.  The offense looked below average, but the defense was stout.

Today's Chiefs win was best summed up with one word: dominance.  From the opening kick, the Chiefs did everything right.

The defense once again looked like a top ten defense.  The pass rush came back to life.  Tamba Hali had three sacks on the day who seemed like he was in the backfield on every passing down.  Brandon Flowers played like a pro bowler, and the shutdown corner that he has the potential to be.

Arguably the biggest surprise was the Chiefs' offense.  After two weeks of an offensive hiatus, the Chiefs 'O' made an appearance. 

Matt Cassel broke out with 3 TD's.  The rushing offense looked even more unstoppable.  Jamaal Charles had 97 rushing yards while Thomas Jones added 95-yards on the ground.

On the day, the Chiefs ended with 457 total yards while the 49ers had only 251 yards. 

The way the Chiefs have won each game is what impresses me the most.  Week 1 it was the special teams, week 2 the defense kept them in the game, and week 3 it was a total team domination, including a Cassel breakout. 

Each week the Chiefs have walked away with a victory, and in each week they have relied on a different part of the team to carry them. 

Yes, the argument could be made that two of the Chiefs' wins were against 0-3 teams, but Chiefs fans don't care.  It's week 3 and they already two games up on every other team in the division.  It's been 7 years since the Chiefs have gone 3-0....let us savor being undefeated for the next two weeks, because I have this nasty feeling that it's not going to last long. 

After the bye week next week the Chiefs head to Indy for what should be a test to see if the Chiefs can be considered a playoff caliber team, or just a good surprise.
