The Chiefs played three games in eleven days. Two of those games were against playoff teams. The other was against a division rival. They won all three of those games. Two by 8 points. This weeks’ 29-10 victory over the Steelers is the Chiefs largest margin of victory this season, and by quite a bit. That victory locked up the #1 seed and a first round bye in the playoffs for the Chiefs. With that bye week, the Chiefs are guaranteed to be one of the final four teams in the AFC.

Technically, the Kansas City Chiefs played a football game on Sunday afternoon. Technically. I am uncertain that Andy Reid, Steve Spagnuolo, or any of the other coaches were aware of this. I am equally uncertain that any of the Chiefs players we saw on Sunday knew it either. The Chiefs rested 11 starters on Sunday, plus DeAndre Hopkins and Hollywood Brown. Xavier Worthy got exactly one snap, so technically he was not rested. But he was rested. Noah Gray played four total snaps.

Only three times in Chiefs history have they won 14 games in a season. All three of those times have been in the past 5 years. In 2020, where they went 14-2 after resting their starters in week 17 having locked up the bye, and lost to the Chargers. In 2022, they went 14-2 after trading Tyreek Hill, en route to their second Super Bowl in the Mahomes Era. And now, in 2024. The Chiefs just won their 14th game of the season, and have two games left to break their franchise record of 14 wins in a season.
