The Arrowhead Stadium faithful clocked in at 137.5 decibels in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 24-7 victory over the Oakland Raiders to shatter the previous mark of 136.6 dB set only last month by Seattle Seahawks fans.
The world record isn't as impressive as how the Chiefs are playing this season. They have the stingiest defense in the National Football League (11.6 points per game), and their offense has been nicely balanced between the running of Jamaal Charles and the passing of Alex Smith. They're not as offensively prolific as their AFC West rivals from Denver, but they are playing well and within themselves.
The Chiefs should keep it going through their bye week, as their next three games are against the limping Houston Texans, the hot-and-cold Cleveland Browns and the Buffalo Bills. But once they get through their bye week, they have a massive challenge ahead of them as they sandwich their two meetings with the Broncos around a home game against the San Diego Chargers. If they win any of those three games, they have a legitimate shot at the division title.
And let's not forget, the Chiefs were 2-14 last season. Their six wins is already triple the total they had in 2012. Not too many teams have a dramatic turnaround like that.
