The Kansas City Chiefs' mathematical playoff chances will likely be coming down to Week 15 — much earlier than most pictured their 2025 season virtually ending.

As things stand entering Week 15, the Chargers own the AFC's top wild-card position, with the Chiefs lagging two games behind the Texans for the final playoff spot.
