US EditionAndy Reid Defiant as Chiefs' Playoff Hopes Dwindle After Thanksgiving Loss to the Cowboys
Penalties, mental mistakes, and weak defense have dropped the Chiefs to 10th in the AFC with a 6-6 record and a 1-in-3 chance of reaching the postseason, analysts say.
- Last week the Kansas City Chiefs dropped to 6-6 after a 31-28 Thanksgiving loss to the Dallas Cowboys, and coach Andy Reid sounded defiant Monday about the club's playoff chances.
- Amid a string of costly flags, the Kansas City Chiefs have struggled to execute late in games, allowing the fifth-most penalty yardage in the NFL while Reid said fixing fundamentals is key.
- Defensive numbers and conference losses have pushed the Chiefs down the standings; the Kansas City pass rush has 22 sacks, the defense 11 turnovers, and a Steelers loss Sunday dropped them to 10th in the AFC with a 3-4 conference record.
- Postseason projections give the Kansas City Chiefs about a one-in-three shot at reaching the playoffs as they prepare to play the Houston Texans on Sunday night, sitting third in the AFC West.
- There is precedent: in 2017 Kansas City rallied from 6-6 to reach the playoffs, and now the team aims to extend its playoff streak since 2015, with Reid noting a few plays can flip the season.
