• Chiefs move up to No. 3: The Chiefs had a lot of success running the ball against the 49ers thanks to good blocking, with all five Kansas City offensive linemen earning 65.0-plus PFF run-blocking grades.

• Eagles continue to free-fall: While Philadelphia sits at 4-2, the offensive line continues to drop down the rankings due to subpar performances, now slotting in at No. 12.
