Chiefs Check-in: K.C. loses heartbreaker to Packers

The Kansas City Chiefs had an ugly night in Green Bay, resulting in a 27-19 loss to the Packers. Multiple starters for the Chiefs went down with injuries, the same old issues persisted on offense and the defense played its worst game of the season.

K.C. has fallen a full game behind the Baltimore Ravens and Miami Dolphins in the AFC standings and could fall behind Jacksonville if the Jaguars win Monday night. Thankfully for the Chiefs, three of their four losses have been to NFC teams, and they still hold tiebreakers over the previously mentioned teams.

Here are the top stories on this edition of Chiefs Check-in for the morning of Monday, December 4:
