The Chiefs will clinch the AFC West title with a win and a Raiders loss to the Broncos. They could also lose the fifth seed with a loss and a Dolphins’ win over the Patriots. Unfortunately for the Chiefs, they’ll be forced to win on Sunday without top pass-rusher Justin Houston, who has been ruled out for Week 17 due to a knee injury. His status for the playoffs is now in question as well, as he is dealing with inflammation in the knee. At least Kansas City still has Tamba Hali and Dee Ford to help pick up the slack.
The Chargers will once again be without running back Melvin Gordon, who has been ruled out with hip and knee injuries. It appeared as though Gordon was on track to play earlier this week after putting in limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday. After not practicing on Friday, however, he was downgraded and is now out. Ronnie Hillman and Andre Williams will carry the load for San Diego this weekend.
