With five games left, the Chiefs will have to win out if they want a shot at continuing their dynasty.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\">The Chiefs have not had the season they wanted, and most of their games have come down to the wire, but this season, those one-score games have not gone the way of the Chiefs. That is one major difference this season, and that has not been a good sign.<\/p>\n<figure data-player-type=\"mini\"><\/figure>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\">When good teams are in close games, they find a way to win. That is what they say. For the Chiefs, they are not bad this season, but have also not shown the best version that we are used to seeing in the previous years. These last five games are their final chance to show why this team is still considered a top team in the National Football League. But for now, they are 6-6 and out of the playoff picture. It will not be an easier road, but it is one they accept the challenge for.<\/p>\n<figure><figcaption><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,x_0,y_0,w_3793,h_2133\/c_fill,w_720,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/ImagnImages\/mmsport\/arrowhead_report\/01kbga3a8wv6ywyxj4cj.jpg\" alt=\"e\" \/><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\">We are not used to seeing the Chiefs outside the top 10 in power rankings. But it feels like that is how it has been all season. The Chiefs&#8217; latest ranking is not a good one, and they will not be happy about it.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\">Conor Orr of Sports Illustrated gave his latest <u>NFL Power Rankings,<\/u> and he had the Chiefs slated at the No. 13 spot. That is a spot that you would not think the Chiefs will be in with Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid.<\/p>\n<figure><figcaption><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,x_0,y_350,w_5490,h_3088\/c_fill,w_720,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/ImagnImages\/mmsport\/arrowhead_report\/01kbga4xa9ka2wm0xdvr.jpg\" alt=\"ffe\" \/><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-8\">13.
