LA Chargers playoff picture: What Week 15 vs. Chiefs means for AFC standings

The biggest shakeup in the AFC on Sunday was not about which teams will be making the postseason, but about one specific team that won’t. Thanks to the Chargers and their 16-13 win over the Chiefs, Kansas City has been eliminated from postseason contention.

The Broncos play the Packers in the late afternoon window, but no matter what happens there, they’ll stay at the top of the division and the AFC standings after Sunday’s games are done.
