On Sunday night, the Chiefs proved that they somehow keep finding new ways to lose.
Kansas City fell 20–10 to the Texans in what felt like a must-win game to improve their playoff chances this winter. With the loss, the Chiefs fell to 6–7 and are on the cusp of missing the postseason for the first time in a decade. The once-Super Bowl hopefuls currently have a 16% chance to make the postseason, according to The Athletic's playoff simulator, and sit at No. 10 in the AFC behind the Colts and Ravens, needing to win out along with a few other things to go their way if they want to salvage their bitter campaign.
