1.) Chiefs must win their next two games.
2.) Denver must lose to Buffalo next week (Go Bills!)
3.) San Diego must lose one game
Call me crazy but I think this is actually a workable scenario. Hope the Chiefs aren't flying TOO high off of this win (how could they not be?) and stay focused and get back down to Oakland preparation. Buffalo has faultered in the middle of the season but it's about time for an upswing and Tebow magic has to have it's flat spot soon. San Diego has the ability to shoot itself in the foot at random so I see a loss @ Detroit.
I think it will all come down to the Denver/Kansas City game for the division title. Who would've saw this coming?
Its almost meant to happen. Orton and Tebow facing off? Giving Orton the chance to say you shouldn't have given up on me? I assure you he has already played this scenario out in his head. Epic storyline with the national attention given to Tebow and the religious side notes that go along with him. Will GOD give him the miracle game of his short career? Oh man, the media would play this up for all it's worth;)
San Diego has to lose both games now (they're 7-7). The way they're rolling Rivers would have to go down in the Lions game and not be able to come back the rest of the season. Only way I can see it happening. They're doing what they always do and get rolling late and the rest of the division hasn't taken care of business.
That's not true...Any scenario I've picked of the Chiefs winning out, the Broncos losing to Buffalo, and SD losing one game puts KC in the playoffs. Both would finish at 8-8, and KC wins tiebreakers apparently:

Playoffs! Playoffs?
It's a long shot but it can happen. It wouldn't be the first time the Chiefs made the playoffs with some crazy scenarios having to happen.
I know, if SD loses once and we win out, we own the tie-breaker and would go to the playoffs. It would be sweet to boot SD and Crybaby Rivers out for a second year.
p.s. Just having fun with a Mora classic.

I hope it happens And I would really like to see us get a shot at revenge against the Ravens. I think we owe them a pounding.
It's honestly crazy to think if Denver loses to the Bills this weekend. The Chiefs control their playoff fate and...
Get a home game at 8 - 8
Remember when we backed into the playoffs with herm 7 things had to happen for us to get in we only need four this time around. Lets go buffalo and the lions who are gonna beat. san diego this weekend.
Yea I remember waiting for the Bengals to lose that day.
On [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Years_Eve"]New Year's Eve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame] 2006, the Chiefs closed out the regular season when they played the [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacksonville_Jaguars"]Jacksonville Jaguars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]. The team looked to restart their "December home game winning streak" during the cold, wintry weather. The game was broadcast on CBS at noon Kansas City time.
The game began with Kansas City under enormous doubt to reach the playoffs. Kansas City would slide into the tournament with losses to Jacksonville, [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennessee_Titans"]Tennessee Titans - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame], [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cincinnati_Bengals"]Cincinnati Bengals - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame] and [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denver_Broncos"]Denver Broncos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]. The team started the day with the 10th seed in the AFC playoffs, but ended 2006 with a truly happy new year. The Chiefs paid tribute to Hunt with a moment of silence before the game and the video boards played tributes before and during the game.[53][54]
Quarterback Trent Green was hit hard from [ame]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clint_Ingram[/ame], resulting in a slightly sprained ankle.[53] He sat out the next few drives as back-up quarterback [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damon_Huard"]Damon Huard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame] returned to the field with the Kansas City offense to enormous applause.[55] Huard threw a deep pass to Eddie Kennison (who miraculously held on to the ball after juggling it) and gained 40-yards. Huard handed off to Larry Johnson, who ran in for this third touchdown of the game from 12-yards out. The Chiefs were leading 35–17. By the end of the third quarter, Chiefs starting quarterback Trent Green was back in the game and threw an interception—a play that was met with jeers for Green and chants for Damon Huard to return.
Within the final five minutes, all of which Kansas City held possession, various penalties were issued against the Chiefs and Jaguars. The most notable of which came against Jacksonville's defensive tackle [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Henderson_%28defensive_tackle%29"]John Henderson (defensive tackle) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame] and Kansas City's guard [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Waters"]Brian Waters - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame], both of which were flagged for unnecessary roughness. Both Henderson and Waters began to brawl against each other. Kansas City ran out the clock throughout the final two minutes and hung on for their ninth win of the season.
The Chiefs, needing four teams to lose in order to gain the final seed in the playoffs, had their wish come true. Kansas City clinched the final playoff berth with Denver's loss to San Francisco and fulfilled an almost impossible playoff scenario.[1][56] For the first time since [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_Kansas_City_Chiefs_season"]2003 Kansas City Chiefs season - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame], the Chiefs were heading back to the playoffs to face the team they lost to, the [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indianapolis_Colts"]Indianapolis Colts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame].[54]
Kansas City's Larry Johnson set the single-season record for carries.[53] Johnson's 416 attempts passed [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamal_Anderson"]Jamal Anderson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]'s ([ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlanta_Falcons"]Atlanta Falcons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]) [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1998_NFL_season"]1998 NFL season - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame] record of 410 carries. Johnson finished the game with 138 yards on 33 carries with three touchdowns.
yep, a 4-2 division record will win it for us. Provided that Donks lose both remaing games an SD loses one of two remaining.
On #1 we would have split with Donks and SD and swept the Faiders. We win our next two div. games we end up with a 4-2 div. record the Donks 3-3 Faiders 3-3 or 2-4 SD can only finish 3-3

I'm not on the Orton bandwagon yet, but I've always had a soft spot for underdogs. I would REALLY REALLY like to see Orton and Tebow face off with the playoffs on the line on New years day.
New Year, New QB, New coach, Playoffs....Gotta LOVE it!
