The Kansas City Chiefs have their bye week during Week 12.
That means you can spend your entire football Sunday watching other teams around the NFL compete.

Here are the top games for Chiefs fans to keep an eye on in Week 12:
Broncos at Bills – noon CT
The Denver Broncos have done a very poor job of closing out games this season. Right now, the Broncos are playing for next season, trying to find some success to propel them into the offseason. They’ll look to get back on track against the Buffalo Bills and play spoiler to their AFC playoff hopes.
The Bills are probably one of the surprise success stories of this season. They’re a confusing team because at one point it looked like they might be able to hang with the Patriots. Since then they have losses to the struggling Eagles and the Browns. They’re in the thick of the AFC playoff race and could challenge the Chiefs for seeding. This is one where you have a free pass to root for the Broncos.
Raiders at Jets – noon CT
This game has all the makings of a trap game. The New York Jets haven’t been playing good football, but they have wins against three NFC East teams, including the 6-4 Cowboys. They’re capable of playing up to their opponents and coming away with a win.
Meanwhile, the Oakland Raiders have been playing down to their opponents as emphasized by a 7-point win over the 0-10 Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11. They could get caught looking ahead to a Week 13 matchup against the Chiefs, which could mean a lot in terms of the AFC West division title.
Jaguars at Titans – 3:25 p.m. CT
The Kansas City Chiefs went 1-3 against the AFC South this year. While these teams don’t appear to pose any direct competition for the Chiefs in the playoffs, how that division finishes out will be important.
The Colts, Titans and Texans hold head-to-head tiebreakers over Kansas City. That means you should be rooting for the Jaguars to come away with a win in this matchup and somehow make a comeback in the division. Nick Foles had a rough outing in his return from injury, but could bounce back this week.
Patriots at Cowboys – 3:25 p.m. CT
Tom Brady popped up on the injury report on Friday with an elbow issue. Need I remind you the Patriots are entering the toughest stretch of their schedule with consecutive games against the Cowboys in Week 12, Texans on Monday Night Football in Week 13 and the Chiefs in Week 14.
This is definitely a game that Chiefs fans will want to monitor. If the Patriots drop this game, there exists a possibility that the Chiefs have a shot at a first-round bye week in the playoffs.
