Chiefs on the bye, then and now

How can any fan be nervous about getting a bye and a home playoff game you ask? History. The Chiefs are 2-4 in playoff games played inside Arrowhead Stadium and 0-3 when they are off the bye. Those three losses are especially painful memories for Chiefs fans.

In 1995, the Chiefs had the best record in the AFC. The offense was led by quarterback Steve Bono, leading receiver Kimble Anders and leading rusher Marcus Allen. The defense was in its prime as one of the best defenses of the 90s. Derrick Thomas, Neil Smith, Dan Saleaumua and Dale Carter all made the Pro Bowl.
