With a victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Kansas City Chiefs can secure the AFC’s top overall seed. However, if the Buffalo Bills had fallen short against the New England Patriots, Wednesday’s Christmas game might have been pointless for the Chiefs.
After the Patriots jumped out to an early 14–7 lead, the Bills rallied for a strong second half and defeated New England 24–21. In order to secure the No. 1 seed, the Chiefs still need to win one of their last two games.
This implies that Patrick Mahomes and other elite players may have rested against the Steelers if they had won it with a Bills defeat. The Chiefs, who are 14-1 and have the best record in the NFL, will now play the Steelers at full strength.
Following their loss to the Baltimore Ravens, the Steelers have made the game against the Chiefs, which is scheduled for 1 p.m., a must-win. No matter what the Ravens do, if they prevail, they will have secured the AFC North.
