The Kansas City Chiefs have enjoyed a successful playoff journey with Patrick Mahomes as quarterback, but this season may bring their streak to an end as they teeter on the brink of elimination. Currently, the Chiefs hold a record of 6-7 and face several scenarios that could result in their elimination from playoff contention as early as Week 15.

One possible scenario involves the Chiefs losing to the Chargers, alongside the Jaguars defeating the Jets, the Bills overcoming the Patriots, and the Texans beating the Cardinals. The Jaguars and Texans are favored heavily in their matchups, while the Bills find themselves needing a win to stay in the race for the AFC East.

The Chiefs are also eyeing alternatives should their luck turn. Mahomes stated, “The chances are getting lower and lower, but I know the guys on this team are going to give everything they have every opportunity they get.”

This whirlwind week brings uncertainty for Kansas City, as their outstanding past may not be enough to secure a playoff spot, with multiple games and situations needing to favor them.
