The Chiefs’ playoff hopes may rest with tiebreakers.

At 6-6 and four games in the loss column behind the Denver Broncos the Chiefs are likely looking to make the postseason as a wild-card entry and that would require having one of the three best records after the four division winners.

It’s possible that other teams will finish with the same record as the Chiefs, and in most cases a head-to-head tiebreaker would determine the seeding.

At the moment, the Chiefs have the tiebreaker advantage over the Baltimore Ravens, Indianapolis Colts and will have the opportunity gain the same edge with Sunday night’s game against the Houston Texans.

But the Chiefs would lose the tiebreaker to the Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Chiefs have lost games to the Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers, but get both opponents at home later in the season for chances to even those series.
