An NFL insider relayed an unexpected Kansas City Chiefs injury update prior to Week 18, and it is great news for KC's playoff chances.

In a funny twist, the Chiefs can knock the Bengals out of the postseason before the bracket is even set. All they have to do is lose the regular-season finale in Denver to ensure the Broncos reach the postseason and the Bengals stay out of it — a task made easier with Mahomes and a host of top-flight starters expected to sit out the game.

The Chiefs finally look worthy of another Super Bowl, the Bills are chasing them, and more in this week’s NFL power ranks.
