The Kansas City Chiefs are tied for an NFL-best 11-1 record after 13 weeks of football. They have found ways to win close football games, winning 14 straight one-possession games.

The Chiefs have an AFC West showdown against the Los Angeles Chargers next on the schedule but there is one more game left on the Week 13 slate of games. The Denver Broncos and the Cleveland Browns are going to match up on Monday Night Football. Prior to this contest, a former Chiefs QB was released.

According to NFL.com's latest transaction wire, the Browns released QB Bailey Zappe ahead of the Week 13 contest.

Zappe joined the Chiefs practice squad in late August after he was released by the New England Patriots. He spent two seasons with New England but ended up in Kansas City. Zappe was on Kansas City's practice squad for two months but was eventually signed by the Browns on Oct. 22.

Zappe never played a snap for the Chiefs, but now he's been let go for the second time this season. The 25-year-old has started in eight career games with a 4-4 record. He's completed 63% of his throws for 2,053 passing yards with 11 passing touchdowns and 12 interceptions.

It's been tough sledding for Zappe, who was let go even though the Browns only have two quarterbacks on the roster, Jameis Winston and Dorian Thompson-Robinson.

A reunion with the Chiefs could be in their plans but Kansas City has been rocking Patrick Mahomes and Carson Wentz as their two active QBs on the 53-man roster.
