The Chiefs knocked off the Houston Texans on Saturday to improve to 14-1 and maintain their two-game lead... They need only one win or one Bills loss to secure the No. 1 seed and a bye in the first round.
Things will be a little more challenging for the 13-2 Lions in the NFC, but after taking care of business against the Bears on Sunday, they still control their own fate. Win their final two games of the season, and they'll secure the first-round bye.
If both teams win next week, it will set up a Week 18 showdown between these two division rivals that will decide which team wins the conference as well as the NFC North and gets the first-round bye.
The Chiefs' penchant for closing out opponents in close games starts with Patrick Mahomes, but it goes so much deeper than that. They allowed the Texans to run only three plays and possess the ball for 97 seconds.
