Mahomes' Chiefs in Playoff Peril at 6-6
29 Nov
Summary
- Kansas City Chiefs face a critical 6-6 record.
- Patrick Mahomes has never been below .500 this late.
- Chiefs lost to Cowboys, Broncos, Chargers, Bills, Jaguars.
The Kansas City Chiefs are in serious trouble, currently holding a 6-6 record following their Thanksgiving Day defeat to the Dallas Cowboys. This situation is particularly concerning as Patrick Mahomes has never experienced a season with a losing record this late into the schedule. The team's playoff hopes are now on thin ice, requiring a near-perfect run through their remaining games.
Analyst Rich Eisen emphasized the dire state of affairs for the Chiefs, pointing out their recent losses to teams like the Buffalo Bills, Jacksonville Jaguars, Los Angeles Chargers, and Denver Broncos. These defeats significantly complicate their path to the postseason, especially within a competitive AFC conference where a 6-6 record may not be enough to secure a wild card spot.
The Chiefs face a challenging remaining schedule, including matchups against the Houston Texans, Los Angeles Chargers, Tennessee Titans, Denver Broncos, and Las Vegas Raiders. While some of these opponents have struggled, the team must win consistently to even have a chance at extending their season beyond the regular games.
