Here’s how the Chiefs clinch a playoff berth this weekend

The Kansas City Chiefs, at 9-2, have had such a dominant season through 11 weeks and the bye that they can clinch a playoff berth this weekend. Here’s how, courtesy, of the self-proclaimed NFL tiebreaker guru Joe Ferreira:

In greater detail, that means...

• The Chiefs (9-2) beat the Oakland Raiders (2-9)
• The Cleveland Browns (4-6-1) beat the Houston Texans (8-3)
• The Jacksonville Jaguars (3-8) beat the Indianapolis Colts (6-5)
• The Buffalo Bills (4-7) beat the Miami Dolphins (5-6)
• The New York Jets (3-8) beat or tie the Tennessee Titans (5-6)

OR

• The Chiefs (9-2) beat the Oakland Raiders (2-9)
• The Cleveland Browns (4-6-1) beat or tie the Houston Texans (8-3)
• The Jacksonville Jaguars (3-8) beat the Indianapolis Colts (6-5)

OK. So it’s not that likely. But it is still a testament to the Chiefs that it is possible to clinch a berth with five more games to play.

The sports-betting site Bovada took their Chiefs playoff prop bet off the table in late October, calling it a foregone conclusion.
