How do the Chiefs respond in a must-win game?
This has become a must-win game for the Chiefs, so it will be interesting to see how they respond. They have lost four of their last six games, which has allowed the Oakland Raiders to creep up right behind them in the AFC West standings. If Kansas City loses on Monday, the division will be in jeopardy.
This game could also have implications for the Chiefs’ playoff seeding because of the losses to both the Colts and Texans, and because the Ravens are playing their best football. Winning out is crucial if Kansas City intends to have a chance at having wild-card weekend off.
Regardless, this is a big game, and if the Chiefs lose we will need to re-evaluate our expectations as the regular season inches toward the finish.
