Chiefs’ Injuries Raise Playoff Hopes for Cincinnati

The Kansas City Chiefs are listing 10 starters as either out or doubtful for their Week 18 game against the Broncos, including quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce. However, with a win in Denver, the Chiefs could potentially take advantage of a favorable outcome for the Bengals’ playoff bid. Cincinnati would require the Chiefs to beat the Broncos if they also win at home against the Steelers on Saturday night. Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will miss the game due to a hip injury, while the Chiefs have made Carson Wentz their starting quarterback. The Steelers are expected to field a full lineup regardless of the Ravens’ result earlier in the day.
