Obviously player safety is of the utmost concern and everybody is happy that Bills safety Damar Hamlin seems to be on the mend from his scary collapse in the Bills – Bengals game Monday night. The repercussions of that game do extend to the field though, and now it’s possible that the Chiefs are no longer playing for possible home field advantage in the AFC Championship Game, even though with a win over the Raiders they’d be 14-3 while Buffalo would be 13-3 if they get a win in week 18. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Chiefs can only control what they control which is a win over Las Vegas and see where the chips fall. Interestingly enough, Kansas City could find themselves back at Allegiant Field in a couple weeks for a neutral site game<\/a> if it is indeed the Chiefs vs Bills for the AFC Championship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What the Chiefs absolutely don’t want to do is drop to 4 losses, which would cost them home field in the Championship Game if Cincinnati were to win this week and finish 12-4. Therefore beating the Raiders is absolutely mandatory for K.C.. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
