You think KC will sit it's starters against Denver despite the fact that they are down their top 3 OT's? Not likely. They will play to defend the #2 seed and hope they can get the #1.
The Bengals have to win a playoff game this year. One and done again and the feel good narrative shifts to same 'ol Bengals. You're going to make it that much harder to win a playoff game,let alone make a run at a SB, because of a small percentage chance of injury?
Dropping from 3 to 4 does not guarantee us more road games. One scenario in which it would is 3 v 4 matchup in the AFC Championship game.
The other would be if the #2 seed loses in the WC round. #3 would the host the SF while #4 travels to #1 no matter what.
