KC Chiefs: Five Thoughts On 2016 Regular Season Schedule

1) The KC Chiefs have three primetime games in 2016

The Chiefs are a team that tends to get snubbed when it comes to primetime games. They’re not a major market and most people outside of Kansas City probably don’t care about the Chiefs.

This season, however, the Chiefs have three primetime games and none of them can be flexed. That has been the problem for the Chiefs in the past seasons, as last year they had a week 11 Sunday Night Football game in San Diego that got flexed due to the Bolts not being very good.

The Chiefs’ three primetime games in 2016 are pretty good match-ups honestly. They’ll travel to Pittsburgh for Sunday Night Football in week four, host the Raiders for a Thursday night game in week 14 and host the Broncos in week 16 on Christmas Day for Sunday Night Football.

All three of these games will be tough, but the Chiefs should (at the very least) be able to win two out of three. I don’t see them traveling to a rowdy Heinz Field and leaving victorious, but we’ve all seen how crazy Arrowhead can get during primetime games. Oakland and Denver will have their hands full during these games.
