The Kansas City Chiefs advanced their regular season record to 13-1 after a 21-7 victory over the Cleveland Browns at Huntington Bank Field in Week 15.
The Browns were held scoreless by Kansas City’s outstanding defense through the first half, and the Chiefs put 21 points on the board before Cleveland’s first touchdown in the third quarter.
Browns quarterback Jameis Winston was sacked five times during the game, and threw three interceptions that kept Kansas City on top.
With this victory, the Chiefs maintained their lead for the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs, holding off the surging Buffalo Bills who defeated the Detroit Lions on Sunday afternoon.
Though Kansas City was expected to handle the challenge of facing Cleveland with ease, the Chiefs’ 14-point margin of victory over the Browns was something of a letdown for fans in Western Missouri.
Take a look at what fans in Kansas City and around the country had to say about the Chiefs’ latest victory:

The Chiefs are now the worst 13-1 team in the NFL.

Two thoughts that can be true at once:
-The Bills are the AFC’s best team right now. MVP at QB. Ton of weapons.
-If they play the Chiefs in KC, I’d pick KC. They always find a way in those spots. D is coming around. And in big moments: Mahomes.
Burden of proof is on the Bills

I realize the Chiefs are 13-1 & just won a non one-score game… but I can’t help be frustrated by Mahomes’ injury.
Chiefs were up by 21 at one point and just completely abandoned the run with Mahomes getting pressured left and right.
Irresponsible
