The Kansas City Chiefs appear to be on the way to yet another #1 seed in the AFC playoffs.  Their quest for a third straight championship has gotten off to a pretty remarkable start.  They’re 14-1 through 15 games and are just one win away from clinching that #1 seed.

However, it appears Kansas City may be without a two time Super Bowl champion for the rest of the regular season.
