The Chiefs have sailed close to real trouble before righting the ship and advancing to the Super Bowl in more than one recent season. But this year they've encountered the choppiest waters yet as they sit at 6-6 and need to rip off four or five wins down the stretch in order to secure a ticket to the postseason.
Football is a game of inches, the NFL has never had more parity, and it feels like more than half of any team's contests are decided by one or two plays. Unfortunately for Kansas City, all of the good breaks have broken bad and they're making fewer winning plays. A year after going an almost unbelievable 11-0 in one-score games, the Chiefs are 0-5 this season in one-score games.
