Chiefs at long last will have the better QB in a playoff game

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- If having the better quarterback is the biggest factor in determining the winner of an NFL playoff game, there’s a good reason the Kansas City Chiefs have lost eight straight postseason games.

But it’s also why that losing streak should end on Sunday against the Texans in Houston. For the first time in what seems like forever, the Chiefs, with Alex Smith, will have the advantage at quarterback over a January opponent.

Smith didn’t have a career season for the Chiefs, though he did set a personal record for passing yardage with 3,486.
