Chiefs Playoff Hopes Still Alive

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs still have a shot at making the postseason, but they are going to need some help.

The Chiefs (6-8) have to win their final two games.

The Denver Broncos (8-6) must lose this week. They travel to Buffalo to take on the Bills.

The San Diego Chargers (7-7) need to lose one of their next two games, both road games, against the Detroit Lions and Oakland Raiders.

The Raiders (7-7) come to Kansas City this week with a huge chip on their shoulder. Once in control of the AFC West, they have now lost three straight. QB Carson Palmer’s debut as a Raider resulted in a 28-0 loss to the Chiefs in week seven.

The AFC West could potentially see a four-way tie for first place, in which the Chiefs would own the tiebreaker. After hosting Oakland this Saturday, they will travel to Denver for a potential QB showdown between Tim Tebow and ex-Bronco Kyle Orton.
