NFL playoff picture: Chiefs’ loss against the Rams helps the Patriots in the race for the AFC’s top seed

The Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles Rams played one of the most hyped-up games in recent memory on Monday night: both teams were 9-1 entering the contest and featuring two of the best offenses in the NFL. Safe to say that the game lived up to its hype, as the home-team Rams defeated the Chiefs 54-51 — the first time in league history that both teams crossed the 50-point barrier in a game.

Not to be forgotten in the aftermath of the epic showdown should be the impact it has on the playoff race, though.
