The Kansas City Chiefs went to battle against the Detroit Lions in Week 6. The game was highly competitive and featured a little scuffle at the end, but that didn't change the fact that Kansas City came away with the victory.

The Chiefs needed a victory to get back to a .500 record after losing a heartbreaking game to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 5. On the backs of several Chiefs' offensive contributors, the franchise handed Detroit its second loss of the season.

According to Pro Football Focus, the Chiefs had several key offensive players who led them to victory, but here are the Top 5 from the Sunday Night Football showdown.

Honorable Mention: QB Patrick Mahomes
