This off week gives us some time to charge the batteries and be ready to finish strong in the last 6 weeks of the regular season.

I agree. Every team needs a bye. This is the latest I can remember them having one. They're about 2/3 through the regular season. I suppose a bye when they were 3-4 would have been ideal at the time, but it worked out in their favor with the Rodgers/Ruggs off-field issues.
Knock on wood, but the Chiefs are the healthiest team in the league. Not many guys need the bye to come back from injury. That said, everyone is banged up after 11 games of full contact. And I need a stress free football weekend. Thanksgiving weekend is the perfect time for that.
