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.

I read elsewhere Reid is 2-2 in such situations with KC over the years. Nothing to play for seeding-wise, resting guys. And one of the losses was damn near a win.
The hope here is Wentz balls out playing for a contract, Brown plays a lot trying to get up to speed, and their D bottles up Denver's O pretty well even with mostly reserves. They crushed Pitt w/out Jones. Maybe Nix gets a little tight, especially if KC grab a lead early.
