So KC knows they have little hope, why tackle head first and give your body for that? It is a war of attrition, does Reid want some of his best players dinged or injured?
KC can lose, then rest their key starters next week vs SD because they host a wild card game the next week.
I would say they will be flat, like Seattle was today. Bears are dinged but at home and want to finish with a winning record. Trubisky has been playing better, at home, SNF, getting 7...?

Houston can finish 11-5 and they own the 1st tiebreaker with a win over KC.
The Chiefs have to win out and finish 12-4 to clinch the 3 seed and face either Ten. or Pit. The last thing they want to do is drop to a 4 seed and play Buffalo in the WC round.

SO would you throw everything you got at SD if you are the Chiefs, or rest/protect Mahomes, Kelce, Hill, and several other key players, to stay away from Buffalo? If I was KC I would rather face Buffalo than Tennessee, though I agree I would prefer playing Pittsburg.
If you do not get a bye it is wise to rest your key players last game...
