Kansas City salted away the last six minutes of the fourth quarter en route to their eleventh win of the season, clinching a playoff berth and escaping the matchup uninjured. Rookie sensation Clyde Edwards-Helaire rode the bench for the first time in his career, albeit due to illness. The game turned out to be a grind offensively for both teams.
Field goals abounded this week, changing the pace from the high-scoring brand of football fans have become accompanied to. Mahomes had an exceptional day, and if not for a wild touchdown-called-incompletion and a brutal holding call in the third quarter, this would have been one of his most statistically impressive games of the season. The Chiefs continued their run of dominance in the AFC West, and if other games go their way in the coming weeks, they’ll be in a prime position to get the only AFC bye week in the playoffs.
