The NFL playoffs are quickly approaching, which means it is time to start talking scenarios and watching the top six of each conference very closely. One game can be the difference between playing football and playing Madden in January.
That is especially true for the Chiefs, who currently sit at the number four seed. Not only are they down to a one-game lead atop the AFC West, the same one-game margin separates them from being out of the playoffs altogether. More optimistically, the Chiefs are only one game away from the number 3 seed and only 2 games away from a first-round bye.
