Kansas City's Unexpected Struggle: A Christmas Surprise
The Kansas City Chiefs find themselves in a difficult position as they prepare to face the Denver Broncos. Currently, they are considered significant underdogs, a situation they haven't encountered in over a decade.
A Decade Since Last Time
The last time the Chiefs faced such a large point spread was in 2013. However, the circumstances were different back then. In 2013, the Chiefs were resting their star players as they had already secured a playoff spot. This time, the situation is far from restful.
Current Struggles
With a record of 6-9, the Chiefs are out of playoff contention. They will be starting third-string quarterback Chris Oladokun against a formidable Broncos team. The NFL scheduled this game for Christmas night, but few expected the Chiefs to be in this predicament.
Contrasting Fortunes
The Chiefs' poor performance is a stark contrast to their usual success. Meanwhile, the Broncos boast the best record in the NFL. This game serves as a clear indication of the Chiefs' struggles this season.
