The Kansas City Chiefs, for the first time in a long time, will conclude their campaign with the regular season finale.
If legendary tight end Travis Kelce is retiring, which is still to be determined, it would mean Sunday's Week 18 clash with the Las Vegas Raiders is the final game of his illustrious NFL career.
It's all still up in the air, but the Chiefs at least have a plan for Kelce on Sunday.
ESPN's Nate Taylor wrote this on Friday:
"The biggest subplot for the Chiefs is the strong possibility that Sunday could be TE Travis Kelce's last game in his illustrious 13-year career. Kelce is expected to play his usual snaps, and the Chiefs will be eager to get him a touchdown against the rival Raiders."

Kelce has spoken about his retirement possibility, sort of.
"Honestly, I've just been trying to win games," Kelce said last week. "I'll let that be a decision I'll make with my family, friends and the Chiefs organization when the time comes."
Kelce probably didn't draw up in his mind that the possible last game of his career would be a road game in the regular season in which Chris Oladokun is throwing him passes for a Chiefs team that is going to finish the year with a losing record.
But that's where Kelce and the Chiefs find themselves.
If this is it, it's one chance to go out with a bang. Not many eyes will be on this contest, but football fans everywhere will be curious to see how Kelce does. The Chiefs will surely be trying to help him have a big game.
