Week 9

Chiefs 26 Vikings 23

All the credit in the world goes to Matt Moore for this win against the Vikings. Two weeks before this game, Patrick Mahomes went out with a dislocated kneecap. It looked bad. No one knew when Mahomes was coming back — although we did know it wasn’t bad enough to keep him out for the season. The Chiefs were coming off a 31-24 loss to the Packers. They couldn’t stand to lose another game or their season could have been in peril.

Matt Moore was 25 for 35 for 275 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions. He led the Chiefs offense down the field on six scoring drives. Harrison Butker was four for four on field-goal attempts. If the Chiefs lose this game they end up with the three seed and maybe even the four seed since the Texans sat their starters in Week 17 and held a tiebreaker over the Chiefs from their head to head matchup.
