Chiefs Check-in: K.C. ready for primetime showdown at Lambeau

The Kansas City Chiefs are finalizing preparations for their big Sunday Night Football matchup with the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. The Packers have some momentum, winners of two of their last three games, and are fighting for their playoff lives.

The Chiefs can reclaim the No. 1 seed in the AFC with a win, but a loss could drop them as far down as the No. 4 seed depending on how other games play out.
