After 13 games, the Kansas City Chiefs, reigning Super Bowl champions, are tied for the best record in the league at 12-1, with only the Detroit Lions sharing that distinction after Week 14 concludes.
Despite their impressive record, the Chiefs’ path to 12 victories has not been easy. Their lone loss this season came against Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills a few weeks ago, but they’ve had to work hard for each win. In fact, 10 of their 12 victories have been by just one score.
On Sunday night, the Chiefs secured a dramatic win against their division rivals, the Los Angeles Chargers, thanks to a game-winning field goal from third-string kicker Matthew Wright, whose kick bounced off the upright at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
Close victories have become a hallmark of the Chiefs’ season. While they would welcome a blowout win, head coach Andy Reid has expressed pride in his team’s resilience. “We’ve been able to battle through some things to get these victories, and I’m sure we’ll continue to do that,” Reid shared with Sports Radio 810 WHB.
As the Chiefs head into the final four regular-season games, it remains to be seen if they can keep pulling out these close wins and maintain their momentum heading into the NFL playoffs. With a potential three-peat on the line, a feat never achieved in NFL history, the stakes are high for Reid and his team.
