There’s nothing fulfilling about the Chiefs potentially gaining literally any advantage from this outcome.
Just a really difficult situation outside the obvious.

I threw this out there yesterday as a possibilty, but I just read the following and I really do think this might be the outcome:
Quote:
The owners and players agreed earlier this year to expand the playoff field to 14 teams. Under that format, the top seed of each conference would receive a first-round bye.
However, if COVID-19 cases force the league to alter plans and pursue the 16-team field, no teams would have a bye week.
