This gives me a glimmer of hope:
In 2013 the Chiefs were in a similar situation against the Chargers in the last week of the season. The Chiefs were locked into a playoff spot and the Chargers had to win to make the playoffs. The Chiefs sat almost all of their starters and came within a missed 41 yard field goal at the end of regulation of winning the game. The Chargers won in overtime.
