The Kansas City Chiefs have kept their hopes for the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs alive thanks to a 28-24 victory over the Denver Broncos at Empower Field on Saturday.
Coming off a last-second loss to the Cincinnati Bengals and playing on a short week, the Chiefs found themselves in a must-win situation if they wanted to have a shot at a postseason bye for the fourth straight year.
Kansas City still needs the Tennessee Titans to lose to the Houston Texans on Sunday in order to secure the top seed, but the first step in the process was taken care of.
