The Kansas City Chiefs are sitting in the pole position for the top overall seed in their conference for the postseason and hold the best overall record in the National Football League. Thus, it shouldn't be all that surprising that the team is mentioned in the first round of potential playoff scenarios—even as early as they are this year.

By the end of Black Friday, the Kansas City Chiefs could secure their spot in the postseason. According to this week’s playoff scenarios from the NFL, the Chiefs can clinch a playoff berth with a victory over the Las Vegas Raiders and either a Miami Dolphins loss on Thanksgiving night or a Denver Broncos loss on Monday Night Football.
