The Kansas City Chiefs are in an extremely awkward situation that does not usually befit a team that is fresh off winning the AFC five times in six years. Not only are they outside of the playoff picture at 6-6, but they need some help from other teams in the postseason hunt to help them get back in.
The Chiefs find themselves multiple games behind the AFC West-leading Denver Broncos and the Wild Card-occupying Los Angeles Chargers. However, the Chiefs might be better positioned to get back on the horse and actually make a run at the playoffs after the latets news surrounding Justin Herbert.
