The Kansas City Chiefs are running out of opportunities to stay afloat in the playoff race. After losing to the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day, they're 6-6 and every game was already a must-win. Now, however, if the Chiefs lose, their playoff hopes will be on life support.
Up next is a date with the Houston Texans and it's the worst possible time to have to face the Texans. Houston has won four straight games after starting the year at 3-5 to set themselves up for a possible third straight AFC South title if they can run the table and the Jaguars and Colts falter (which wouldn't be unfathomable at all).
