The hardest parts of the Chiefs schedule
A schedule is more than a list of opponents. Travel and rest decide a lot of games, and most schedule pages leave them out. Here is what stands out for the Chiefs.
- Longest road run: 3 games in a row away from home, from Week 12 to Week 14 (at the Buffalo Bills, at the Los Angeles Rams, and at the Cincinnati Bengals).
- Short week: only 4 days between Week 11 (vs. the Arizona Cardinals) and Week 12 (at the Buffalo Bills).
- Late division games: Week 17 at Los Angeles Chargers; Week 18 vs. Las Vegas Raiders. These often decide the division title.
- Bye timing: the Week 5 bye leaves 13 games after the break.
