Would getting the 2nd seed actually be benificial?

At any rate...dont care enough about this topic to interact with internet chest-beaters....not you...just not going to play along with the vicarious pile-on.

Chiefs get the #1,2,3,4 seed...it's nothing I control.

Aside from needing the bye week to get some rest there is another huge reason.

Playing 1 more game than necessary increases the likelihood of injury by a lot.

We have lost several players due to injury in playoff games including Mahomes for short stretches (that effected his play in other games after) and several OL over the years along with some important defensive players.

Playing 1 more game unnecessarily means 1 more game you might just have an off day.

Its a ridiculous question, in no scenario is the 2 seed a better option.
