When the NFL owners passed the AFC Playoff seeding resolution on Friday, there was much debate as to whether or not the league got it right. Fans in Kansas City argued both that the Kansas City Chiefs made out like bandits and that they were getting the short end of the stick. Regardless of which side of the argument you found yourself on, the resolution did provide clarity on one thing: win on Saturday and secure the first-round bye.
This effectively turned the Chiefs’ regular-season finale against the Las Vegas Raiders into a playoff game, and they treated it as such, winning 31-13.
