The Kansas City Chiefs Sunday eliminated from playoff contention. The 10-year streak in which they made the playoffs has ended. Their nine-year run of winning the AFC West came to an end. Their streak of making it to the AFC Championship Game in every season of Patrick Mahomes career and to the Super Bowl for each of the last three years is also over. Their slim playoff hopes were dashed when they lost 16-13 to their divisional rivals in a tight, defensively-dominated, tightly-contested match.
Kansas was the loser CityThe Chiefs have suffered their seventh defeat by one score this season. This is despite the fact that they were 11-0 in such close games during the 2024 season. Chiefs, who were 5-3 after a cold season start, lost five of six games and fell out of the running.
Mahomes was seen limping off the field with what looked like a serious injury to his knee late in the match. Mahomes lay down in pain and was unable to stand for a few minutes. The training staff had to help him into the locker rooms. Gardner Minshew took his place, and played the Chiefs final drive. However, he was intercepted in his final attempt to pass, which sealed the Chiefs fate and their loss.
