KC Chiefs News: Chiefs Are Playoff Bound
KC Chiefs news this morning is all about the Kansas City Chiefs clinching a playoff spot after their week 16 victory against the Cleveland Browns.
The KC Chiefs are heading to the playoffs! This is a sentence that no one thought would be uttered after the dreadful 1-5 start to the season.
The 2015 season seemed like another disappointing footnote in Kansas City Chiefs history, but instead, the team has reeled off nine straight wins and currently sit in the fifth spot of the AFC playoff picture.
It’s been a fun season to say the least, and not just for the Chiefs, but for all Kansas City sports. This is the first season EVER in which both the Chiefs and the Royals earned a trip to the postseason. Incredible.

The Royals went all the way to the World Series and won the whole thing in 2015. Will the Chiefs be able to match their next door neighbors and make it to/win the Super Bowl this year? While it seems silly to be thinking about that, that’s the ultimate goal.
Sure we want our KC Chiefs to simply win a playoff game, but winning two, three, however many it takes, would be nice as well.
After the majority of the Chiefs’ season was pretty much ignored in Kansas City due to the Royals’ winning ways, Chiefs fans are now locked in on this team. You have our attention Chiefs… Just don’t go breakin’ our hearts please.
Here are news and notes on the KC Chiefs making it to the playoffs from FanSided.com.

"In today’s NFL there are no safe games. Almost every team in the NFL loses games that they should have won on paper. The good teams in the NFL are the ones that can find ways to win even when they don’t have their “A Game”. By those standards there is simply no denying that Kansas City is a good football team."
Now, check out what the rest of the web is saying about the Chiefs making it to the playoffs.

"Being hot in December doesn’t promise anything in January, but the Chiefs most certainly are. Their win over the Browns on Sunday was their ninth in a row, bringing them to 10-5 after losing five of their first six games."
None of us were expecting a season quite like this. Sure, many were predicting the Kansas City Chiefs to be a good football team, to win enough games to make it to the playoffs, and to actually win a playoff game… None of us were expecting that to come the way it did though.
No one thought the Chiefs would go 1-5 and then be able to crawl themselves out of that hole, win nine straight, and earn a playoff berth in week 16. If you did have that pegged, props to you.
