The Chiefs haven't clinched anything. Their last two games are at home against the Browns and Raiders.
A win over the Browns and a Jets loss to the Patriots clinches at least the 6th seed.
Two wins clinches at least the 5th seed.
Two wins and a Broncos loss (to Bengals or Chargers) clinches the division and the 3rd seed.
If the Chiefs win the division, they would likely be hosting the Broncos at Arrowhead in the wild-card round. A win there would advance them to play the Dalton-less Bengals.
Or...
If the Chiefs get the 5th seed, they start on the road in Houston against a 4th-string quarterback. A win there would advance them to play at Denver.
In either case, the Steelers could be looming as the 6th seed (or 5th if Chiefs take the division). And the Steelers are just the team to knock out the Patriots in Foxboro. Which means the Steelers and Chiefs would be playing in the AFC Championship...in Arrowhead.
