San Francisco is in jeopardy of missing the playoffs a year after losing to Kansas City in the Super Bowl.

The Kansas City Chiefs continued their trend of close victories, narrowly defeating the Las Vegas Raiders 19-17. This win not only showcased their resilience but also secured them a playoff spot, highlighting their consistent performance throughout the season.

Mahomes is consistently found near the top of the MVP odds board due to his exceptional talent and winning track record. Despite not achieving his usual career numbers this season, he has led the Chiefs to a strong 11-1 record, tying them for the best in the league. Operating without top receivers and behind a shaky offensive line, Mahomes continues to demonstrate his ability to win games, which keeps him in the MVP conversation.

The Kansas City Chiefs clinched a playoff spot with a dramatic late win over the Las Vegas Raiders, improving their record to 11-1. This victory ensures that the back-to-back Super Bowl champions have a chance to pursue a third title in February.

The Kansas City Chiefs are currently leading the AFC race, closely followed by the Buffalo Bills after their dominant win over the 49ers. The Chiefs' strong performance this season positions them as a key contender in the playoff picture.
