KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs are headed back to the playoffs.
Imagine that when they were 1-5.
Alex Smith threw two touchdown passes for Kansas City, and the game clock finally stopped Johnny Manziel as the Chiefs held on to beat the Cleveland Browns 17-13 on Sunday for their franchise record-tying ninth consecutive victory.
When Pittsburgh lost to Baltimore moments after the game, Kansas City (10-5) clinched a wild-card berth. The Chiefs can still win the AFC West with a victory in their finale against Oakland a loss by Denver on Monday night or in the Broncos' regular-season finale.
