After a Sunday Night Football win over the Los Angeles Chargers, the\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs\u00a0are AFC West champions for the ninth-consecutive season.<\/p>\n

Beginning in 2016, the Chiefs\u2019 nine-season streak is the second-longest feat of divisional dominance in NFL history, trailing only the 2009-19 New England Patriots, who won 11 consecutive AFC East titles.<\/p>\n

Kansas City\u2019s historic run coincides\u00a0with 10 consecutive playoff appearances\u00a0in 12 seasons under head coach Andy Reid. KC\u2019s AFC West streak began with Alex Smith at quarterback before Patrick Mahomes took over in 2018.<\/p>\n

With Mahomes at quarterback, the Chiefs have made it to the AFC Championship Game every postseason, resulting in three Super Bowl wins, one Super Bowl loss, and two AFC Championship Game losses. The Reid-Mahomes duo has as many playoff losses (three) as Super Bowl championships. Mahomes has never been on a team that did\u00a0not\u00a0<\/em>win the AFC West, securing his eighth division championship and seventh as KC\u2019s starter.<\/p>\n

The Chiefs remain in pole position to secure the AFC\u2019s No. 1 seed, which comes with the conference\u2019s lone first-round bye and home field advantage throughout the playoffs. On Sunday afternoon, the Buffalo Bills fell to 10-3 with a loss to the Los Angeles Rams, giving the Chiefs an additional bit of breathing room in the race for the top spot out of the AFC.<\/p>\n

When the Bills defeated the Chiefs in New York in November, Buffalo gained the head-to-head tiebreaker between the two AFC favorites, meaning that a tied final record would give Buffalo the No. 1 seed while Kansas City would be forced to take on the AFC\u2019s No. 7 seed in the wild card round. However, as the Bills and Pittsburgh Steelers both sit at 10-3 with KC climbing to 12-1, Kansas City\u2019s hold on the top spot looks strong with four regular season games remaining.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
