One of the most important games for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2019 was not even on the team’s schedule. It was the Miami Dolphins matchup against the New England Patriots in Week 17, the game in which Ryan “Fitzmagic” Fitzpatrick led one of the most magical and exciting drives ever seen in football to score a the game-winning touchdown over the New England Patriots. This loss cost the Pats the second seed in the AFC and gave K.C. a first-round bye and home field advantage throughout the playoffs.
The Chiefs will no doubt win plenty of games in 2020, but that does not keep them from having to keep an eye on their divisional and conference opponents throughout the season.
