Chiefs’ title push starts with a tough Saints team on Sunday
The Chiefs don’t need Sunday’s game to clinch an AFC bye — but a win might do wonders in proving to themselves that they can do this again.

The Kansas City Chiefs travel to New Orleans this weekend to play the Saints. At 10-3, the Saints are the final playoff team the Chiefs will face in the regular season — the Atlanta Falcons and Los Angeles Chargers are already eliminated from contention.
If the Chiefs defeat the Saints Sunday and win against the Chargers Week 17, the trip to New Orleans will be the last time they pack their bags until Tampa — so long as they continue to win.
