3. Kansas City Chiefs
After their loss to the Buffalo Bills, the Kansas City Chiefs face an uphill battle to win the AFC West. At 5-4, the team still has a good shot at the Wild Card, but they find themselves behind the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers in the race for the division. They can kiss homefield advantage goodbye, and they might have to go on the road for their entire postseason run.
Kansas City still has a championship-caliber roster, but it should bolster the defensive line with a Trey Hendrickson trade. The pass rush hasn’t been the same this year, as defensive tackle Chris Jones is having a down year. Hendrickson would give the Chiefs a considerably better defense and help make the team more competitive in games like yesterday when Mahomes isn’t at his best.
