The Kansas City Chiefs are among the most dominant teams in the NFL and are pacing to take the top seed in the AFC playoffs through Week 9.

While the team’s early success in 2023 hardly guarantees that it will earn the coveted playoff bye week in January, the fact that Kansas City controls its own destiny at this point in the season gives the Chiefs a massive advantage over opponents in the AFC.
Kansas City will have to win some extremely challenging games after their Week 10 bye to stay in their current position, but if recent history is any indication, the Chiefs should be expected to pull out scrappy victories with regularity through the end of the season.
Another No. 1 seed in the playoffs could help catapult Kansas City to another Super Bowl berth, so it is imperative for the Chiefs to stay the course and continue churning out wins as the 2023 regular season nears its conclusion.
