Three weeks into the NFL season, only five teams remain undefeated. According to Travis and Jason Kelce, there are currently two teams ahead.
Travis’ Chiefs, the Bills, Seahawks, Vikings and Steelers are all 3-0.
And the brothers are confident that Minnesota and Buffalo are the best so far.
“Who’s more impressive right now? The Vikings or what the Bills did? They’re probably the most impressive 2-3 weeks,” Jason said on the latest episode of their podcast ‘New heights.
“Neck and neck, yeah,” Travis replied.

The Bills, who fired star player Stefon Diggs during the offseason, soundly defeated the Jaguars on Monday Night Football.
Josh Allen and Co. won 47-10 at home and the team’s offense has scored 30+ points in every game so far.
“Last year they lost four of their five receivers, they’re distributing the ball and somehow Josh Allen is playing better… that’s very impressive,” Jason said.
“They’re rolling now,” Travis acknowledged of his AFC rivals.
The Vikings, meanwhile, have been a pleasant surprise, as veteran quarterback Sam Darnold has replaced injured rookie JJ McCarthy.
Wins over the 49ers and Texans have the NFL on edge and Darnold, who has a three-game passing streak, is having the best game of his career.
“Sam’s fucking dog. I’m pretty high on Sam,” Travis began.
“I know he had his lows in Carolina and stuff. I’m a huge Sam Darnold fan. I think he’s got great instincts, I think he’s got a strong arm, I think he’s a smart player, and I always thought he was a gamer.”
The Steelers are typically stingy on defense, but Justin Fields has gained confidence at quarterback after their offense struggled the past two seasons under Kenny Pickett.
“They’re 3-0, they still have great defense, the difference is they have a quarterback now in Justin Fields who’s playing better than he’s ever played,” Jason said.
Meanwhile, the Seahawks have defeated the Broncos, Patriots and Dolphins, while Travis’ Chiefs narrowly defeated the Ravens, Bengals and Falcons.
TJ Watt and the Steelers defense have also been their typically frugal selves
However, Kelce is averaging 23 yards per game, the lowest of his career, and spoke to New Heights about his past struggles.
“I’ve had a lot of catches in this league, man. I don’t worry about the catches and the yards and all that, I have the most fun when I get the ball my way, I mean, who doesn’t?” he said.
“It’s all about execution and making sure we do everything we can to win these football games, that’s always going to be the goal. I think everyone saw my drop in the fourth quarter and the crucial third down, just trying to do too much before I threw the ball away.
“That’s probably the biggest thing for me, is making the play in big moments like this. I think with the way defenses are playing us right now, I don’t really get a lot of opportunities to make plays on the field, but I don’t use that as an excuse.”
Travis and the Chiefs will look to make it 4-0 on Sunday when they take on the Chargers.
