KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Andy Reid has an 18-3 career record coming off a bye. The Kansas City Chiefs will have the benefit of an extra week of rest and preparation before their first playoff game.
The 12-4 Chiefs saw to that by holding off the Los Angeles Chargers 31-21 on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium. That result, coupled with the New England Patriots’ loss to the Miami Dolphins, gives the Chiefs the No. 2 seed in the AFC playoffs and a first-round bye.
The Chiefs will open the postseason in two weeks at Arrowhead against an opponent to be determined.
