The Kansas City Chiefs can make the NFL playoffs by securing a wild-card spot in the AFC, as they have been eliminated from AFC West contention.
Path Forward
They must win all four remaining games against the Chargers, Titans, Broncos, and Raiders to finish 10-7. Even with those victories, they need losses from wild-card contenders like the Chargers, Colts, Dolphins, and Ravens to create tiebreaker opportunities, where the Chiefs hold advantages such as head-to- head wins over the Colts and Ravens.
Playoff Odds
Current projections give them about a 15% chance, ranking them 10th in AFC standings behind teams with better records and tiebreakers. Key factors include reducing turnovers, improving offensive line play, and relying on Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce for big plays amid injuries.
