Chiefs playoff hopes are slim, is it time for a revamp in KC?

The Kansas City Chiefs’ playoff hopes are slim. What should the Chiefs do after losing to the Houston Texans? Did Josh Allen’s play against the Cincinnati Bengals put him back in the MVP conversation? Should we be taking the Jacksonville Jaguars more seriously? And what did we learn about the Chicago Bears after their loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday?

Scoop City is back to examine where things stand in Kansas City. Patrick Mahomes and company have fallen to 6-7, and they need some magic to qualify for the postseason. Is it time for the Chiefs to hit the reset button? The Athletic’s senior NFL insider Dianna Russini, former Chiefs quarterback Chase Daniel and NFL insider James Palmer discuss the state of the Chiefs after a disappointing Week 14 result.

In Buffalo, the Bills are riding high after a comeback win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Josh Allen’s performance kept the Bills’ playoff hopes alive, while the defense managed to force Joe Burrow into two turnovers. Could the Bills still be a threat in the AFC despite their midseason struggles?

Should we all be taking Jacksonville more seriously? Palmer explores the idea that the Jaguars are being disrespected around the league and how head coach Liam Coen is using it as motivation. The Jaguars lead the AFC South at 9-4, but the Texans — winners of five straight — are close behind.

Plus, what did we learn about the Chicago Bears on Sunday after their loss to the Green Bay Packers? Caleb Williams threw a late interception that sealed the win for Green Bay, which now holds the top spot in the NFC North. The Packers have won four in a row. Is it their division to lose?
