Yeah, the Chiefs put themselves in a really tough spot. The losses to Chicago and Denver will be considered the backbreakers this year if they don't make the playoffs. The way I see it is they can afford one loss the rest of the season, and even that loss has to come against the right team. 9-7 won't get this team into the playoffs, they HAVE to go 10-6 at worst to make it in. Denver otoh is in the driver's seat for the West. That defense will get them to 10 wins minimum, in spite of what the offense is going forward.
If they make it, and that's a mighty big IF at this point, Reid has to be a shoe-in for coach of the year, especially considering he will have done it with Jamaal Charles out and the world's biggest game manager throwing the ball for him.
