The Kansas City Chiefs are leading the charge for the second straight season. Last time, Super Bowl winners are making their mark each passing week in the finals. Patrick Mahomes and the Travis Kelce duo have been doing wonders for their team. Especially Patrick Mahomes, the reigning MVP has been performing on a regular basis and has secured 10 touchdowns in just a span of five games.

With a total of 11 touchdowns, with three of them coming in a winning cause against the Bears 31-28.
