Both the Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos made moves ahead of Tuesday's NFL trade deadline.  Kansas City acquired wide receiver Josh Downs from the Indianapolis Colts, sending fourth- and fifth-round picks in next year's draft to Indianapolis while receiving a seventh-round pick in return.  Downs has 33 receptions for 354 yards and a touchdown this season, giving Patrick Mahomes another weapon amid injuries to the Chiefs' receiving corps.  Meanwhile, Denver strengthened its defense by acquiring linebacker Daiyan Henley from division rival Los Angeles.  The Broncos sent a 2027 fourth-round pick and a 2028 fifth-rounder to the Chargers. Henley led Los Angeles with 51 tackles this season.

The Hurricanes tumble to seventh.  Texas checks in at number six, followed by Tennessee, Indiana and BYU rounding out the top ten.  In the Big 12, Texas Tech climbs to 12th, Houston moves up to 14th, and Arizona sits 23rd.
