After losing to the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving, things are not looking great for the Kansas City Chiefs’ playoff hopes.

Through 12 games, they sit at 6-6. In a league where only the top seven teams in each conference make the playoffs, the Chiefs have the 10th best record in the AFC. The Chiefs don’t have the head-to-head tiebreaker against most of the teams they are chasing.

As of Monday, ESPN’s playoff projections have Kansas City’s chances of making the playoffs at just 42%. Not great.
