I think it’s safe to say the last team the Chiefs want to face in the playoffs this year is the Raiders. No team has given the Chiefs are harder time this season, including owning the Chiefs’ only loss of the season.
Sunday night the Chiefs and the Raiders squared off for the second time this season and it took a scoring drive in the final seconds of the game for the Chiefs to eke out the win.
Even after the loss, the Raiders are still 6-4 and own the final seen in the playoffs. This year the playoffs will have seven teams and the number two seed (the Chiefs) will not get a first-round bye. This means if the playoffs started right now, we’d all get to watch these two teams go at it one more time.
This is what the playoff seeds look like as of now:
| Seed | Team | Division | Record | Div Seed | Conf record |
| 1 | Pittsburgh | North | 10-0-0 | 1 | 7-0-0 |
| 2 | Kansas City | West | 9-1-0 | 1 | 8-1-0 |
| 3 | Buffalo | East | 7-3-0 | 1 | 5-2-0 |
| 4 | Indianapolis | South | 7-3-0 | 1 | 3-3-0 |
| 5 | Tennessee | South | 7-3-0 | 2 | 5-3-0 |
| 6 | Cleveland | North | 7-3-0 | 2 | 4-3-0 |
| 7 | Las Vegas | West | 6-4-0 | 2 | 4-3-0 |
In the hunt:
| Seed | Team | Div | Record | Div Seed | Conf record |
| 8 | Baltimore | North | 6-4-0 | 3 | 4-4-0 |
| 9 | Miami | East | 6-4-0 | 2 | 3-3-0 |
