who do the chiefs need to lose today

The Chiefs have already been eliminated from playoff contention, so there is no longer any combination of other teams losing today that can help them.

Chiefs status

Kansas City was knocked out of the playoff race by their loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 15, which dropped their record to 6–8 and mathematically ended their postseason chances. Because of that result, the “who do the Chiefs need to lose” scenarios no longer apply; their remaining games cannot change the fact that they are eliminated.

What this means today

Any games today involving teams like the Bills, Jaguars, Texans, or others will affect seeding and tiebreakers for those franchises, but not reopen a path for Kansas City. Chiefs fans can still pay attention to AFC games for general interest or draft-position implications, but no specific losses by other teams will put the Chiefs back into playoff contention this season.
