Well, Denver’s fluke win over a muffed extra-point made my pipe dream even more of a dream, but here are the scenarios for the Chiefs getting in the playoffs… That I know of…
I thought that if the NY Jets win tomorrow, the Chiefs would be out, but the CBS Sportsline blog said the Chiefs would only be eliminated with both a NY and Cincy win. Cincy lost, so evidently there’s a way the Chiefs make it in that I’m not quite seeing right now.
Oh wait… If NY Jets win tomorrow, KC must have a Denver AND a Cincy loss next week as well as a Tennessee loss paired with a KC win over the Jaguars.
If NY loses tomorrow night to Miami, then the Chiefs make the playoffs with this wild and improbable set of wins and losses:
The Chiefs must beat the Jacksonville Jaguars to make it into the playoffs.
If Denver loses to San Francisco… KC needs two out of the three following teams to lose: Tennessee (playing New England), the NY Jets (playing Oakland, for crying out loud…), and Cincinnati (playing Pittsburgh at home)
If Denver wins, KC needs help with a loss from Tennessee, the NY Jets, AND Cincinnati to make it into the playoffs.
I know how unlikely it is. I just like to have these things figured out. Can anybody see a scenario I missed? I know I didn’t include ties, because they are so unlikely any way. I think you can substitute loss with “loss or tie” and that would not change a thing.
