NFL playoff picture: Postseason probabilities entering Week 12 of 2025 season | NFL.com
The Chiefs, Ravens and Texans — all 10-plus-win playoff teams from a year ago — each sit at .500, with 15 losses between them. That’s more L’s than the trio totaled throughout the entire 2024 campaign. Parity!
With Sunday’s loss in Denver, the Chiefs have now dropped back-to-back games twice in a season for the first time in the Patrick Mahomes era. They’ve been on the wrong end of all five of their one-score contests this year, too, after going 12 for 12 in 2024 (including playoffs). So, clearly, the 2025 Chiefs are not quite the version we’ve grown used to. But with a 50-50 playoff probability, I would think most folks would still lean toward the Mahomes side of that coin. Kansas City will welcome the Colts (more on that in a second), Texans, Chargers and Broncos to Arrowhead in the coming weeks, which means the Chiefs will have prime opportunities to make up ground in the standings. And though they’ve struggled away from K.C. this year (1-4, including in Brazil), their three remaining road games are against teams currently 7-22-1 combined.

5. The Chiefs will need to quickly turn the page with another critical matchup on deck.
The Chiefs’ goals are still in front of them, but they’ll need to get back on track in a hurry. Kansas City is now three games back of Denver (in the loss column) in the AFC West and finds itself in a crowded field of teams fighting for positioning in the Wild Card race, setting up a crucial game with the Indianapolis Colts this upcoming weekend.
This certainly isn’t where the Chiefs expected to be, but if there’s a silver lining, it’s that the Chiefs are no stranger to overcoming adversity. The final seven games of the season will be a challenge, but Kansas City is more than up for it.
“We’ve dealt with adversity [before], and [we’ve] gotten better from it,” Mahomes said. “This is something that we haven’t dealt with so early in the season, but at the same time, I know the guys in that locker room, and how they’re going to respond. All we can do is stick together, push ourselves to be even better, and do what we can to win this next week.”
