The Chiefs and Steelers are now tied for the best record in the AFC with 11 wins and a single loss. Unfortunately, the Steelers still hold the No. 1 seed in the AFC due to the NFL’s tiebreaker rules. They have a better win-loss record within the AFC conference.
For reference here is how the NFL’s tiebreaker procedures are ordered.
Head-to-head record, if applicable.
Best conference win-loss record.
Best common games win-loss record.
Strength of victory.
Strength of schedule.
Best combined points scored and points allowed ranking within the conference.
Best combined points scored and points allowed ranking within the NFL.
Best net points all games.
Best net touchdowns in all games.
A coin flip determines the tiebreaker.
If both teams win out the season, the Steelers would still hold the No. 1 seed. If they both trip up again on the way to the finish line it opens up the possibility of one of the above tiebreakers coming into play. Neither team has a cakewalk of a schedule to close out the season either.

The best-case scenario for the Chiefs is to continue taking things one game at a time, keep winning and hope for another Steelers loss.
