Kansas City Chiefs: Five Things To Watch Vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Kansas City Chiefs return home to Arrowhead Stadium this week to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Here are the five things for Chiefs fans to watch.

The Kansas City Chiefs are riding a five game winning streak as they return home to Arrowhead Stadium this week. The Chiefs will be taking on the 4-5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Chiefs are clear favorites this week, but some elements of this game indicate that it could be a let down week for KC. With a tough schedule ahead, Andy Reid needs to have his guys clicking.

The Chiefs are looking like they might be legitimate Super Bowl contenders. They currently sit tied with the Patriots and Raiders for the best records in the AFC. However, a head to head win over the Raiders puts KC in the #2 overall seed right now. Of course, there is still plenty of time for things to change.

This week, Kansas City will finish off a stretch of games that were very winnable against teams with losing records. That changes next week as KC takes on the Denver Broncos. That game will be the first of three games against teams that are in position to make the playoffs right now. Not an easy task.

The Chiefs need to solidify their position in the playoffs as soon as possible. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like they will be getting much help from the other teams involved. Simply put, KC needs to keep their foot on the gas and continue to win games. Win and they are in. It’s that simple…so keep it simple and win. That starts this week against Tampa Bay.
