Chiefs Check-in: K.C. loses another last minute heartbreaker

The Kansas City Chiefs came up short against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday by a score of 20-17. K.C. once again got off to a slow start and found itself in a 14-0 hole, but the defense found its footing and allowed just two field goals in the final three quarters. For the Chiefs’ offense, however, it was more of the same roller coaster ride that we’ve become accustomed to this season.

The first four possessions for the K.C. offense resulted in either a punt or a turnover. Then, it scored two consecutive touchdowns and appeared to be turning the corner. Unfortunately, the Chiefs would only muster one field goal on their final four possessions. Turnovers, penalties, and overall lack of attention to detail held the offense back as it has for most of the year.

Poor officiating will be a hot topic for a Chiefs loss yet again. There’s no doubt that clearer rules and consistent enforcement are sorely needed, but the Chiefs have to stop putting themselves in a constant position where the referees are deciding the game.

K.C. has been able to take leads with under two minutes left in four of their five losses this season and not only haven’t capitalized but committed self-inflicting wounds to cost itself the game. The Chiefs have lost two games in a row and four of their last six.

The Kansas City Chiefs need a big bounce-back win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday to build momentum for the postseason and stay in contention for the No. 1 seed in the AFC. Kansas City will look to avoid losing two games in a row for the first time since 2021. It will have to do so missing multiple starters to injury. A loss for the Bills will all but dash their postseason hopes for 2023.

It’s gut-check time for the Kansas City Chiefs. They have lost three of their last five games and are dealing with some injuries to key starters. If they want the road to the Super Bowl to roll through Kansas City during the postseason yet again, there is little to no room for error throughout the final five weeks of the season.

The Kansas City Chiefs had an ugly night in Green Bay, resulting in a 27-19 loss to the Packers. Multiple starters for the Chiefs went down with injuries, the same old issues persisted on offense and the defense played its worst game of the season.

K.C. has fallen a full game behind the Baltimore Ravens and Miami Dolphins in the AFC standings and could fall behind Jacksonville if the Jaguars win Monday night. Thankfully for the Chiefs, three of their four losses have been to NFC teams, and they still hold tiebreakers over the previously mentioned teams.

The Kansas City Chiefs are finalizing preparations for their big Sunday Night Football matchup with the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. The Packers have some momentum, winners of two of their last three games, and are fighting for their playoff lives.

The Chiefs can reclaim the No. 1 seed in the AFC with a win, but a loss could drop them as far down as the No. 4 seed depending on how other games play out.

Chiefs Check-in: K.C. has a good problem at middle linebacker

Linebacker Nick Bolton is working toward getting back onto the field after missing the last four games with a wrist injury. We know that Bolton is a playmaker on the field, but Drue Tranquill has more than held his own during Bolton’s absence.

In fact, an argument could be made that Tranquill is a more complete linebacker than Bolton. It’s a good problem to have for the Chiefs and it will be interesting to see how defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo splits playing time between the two.
