The Chiefs notched a No. 1 seed in the NFL playoffs after winning the most games in the AFC during the regular season, earning them a week off during the first round of the playoffs. The Chiefs clinched the No. 1 seed after defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas.

The Kansas City Chiefs earned a much-needed bye week after clinching the No. 1 seed for the AFC playoffs. After the Denver Broncos' loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, the defending Super Bowl champions now know who they will face in the divisional round next week.

The Chiefs have their opponent for next weekend in the Divisional Round of the 2025 NFL Playoffs. They will face the Texans at Arrowhead Stadium. The Chiefs hosted the Texans last month, with Kansas City wining 27-19.
