One of the major factors in a team’s success late into the regular season and entering the playoffs is team health. The Kansas City Chiefs have certainly battled through some short and long-term injuries to star players this season, as have their AFC foes in the playoff picture.
In a season in which the NFL has seen over 50 starting quarterbacks, and there’s seemingly an injury to a superstar player on a weekly basis, no team is at 100 percent health at this time of year. While a bit of luck is involved, it also comes down to physical preparation and medical expertise from each club’s medical staff to ensure a team’s optimal health throughout a season.
