Rashee Rice sends big dare to Chiefs Kingdom after loss to Cowboys image

TL;DR

  • Kansas City Chiefs are 6-6 after losing to Dallas Cowboys, currently No. 9 seed in AFC.
  • Facing tough tiebreakers, Chiefs may need to win out for playoffs, despite past success.
  • Wide receiver Rashee Rice urges fans not to count the Chiefs out, referencing past playoff runs.
  • Chiefs have struggled in one-score games this season, unlike their record-setting 2024 performance.

The Kansas City Chiefs are in hot water. After losing to the Dallas Cowboys, Kansas City is now 6-6 and sitting as the No. 9 seed in the AFC playoff picture.

Facing unfavorable tiebreakers against the Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars, the Chiefs might be just one defeat away from an insurmountable gap in their quest for the postseason. Consequently, Kansas City would need to win out to virtually secure a place in the AFC playoffs. However, wide receiver Rashee Rice advises caution to those who underestimate the Chiefs.

Taking to X, the star wideout dared Chiefs Kingdom, and anyone in the NFL world, to count out the Chiefs.

"Go head count us out if yall want," Rice posted on X.

It's hard to say the Chiefs are down for the count when we've seen them make it to the AFC Championship Game every year since 2018 when Patrick Mahomes became the starter. They've only not made the Super Bowl once in that span, which came in 2021 when the Cincinnati Bengals came out of the AFC.

While the Chiefs have looked far from great, they looked even worse in 2024. However, they were able to squeak by in 12 one-score games, which is an NFL record. They've won just one of those games in 2025, which has had a big impact on their record.
