Chiefs face uphill battle in second-half of NFL’s 2023 schedule

The Kansas City Chiefs’ path to defending their newly won Super Bowl championship won’t be easy in 2023 after the NFL released a schedule that has them playing no less than six of their last seven games with a rest disadvantage to their opponents.

Though many thought the team would face an uphill battle to emerge as league champions for a second-straight season, none could have predicted that they would be put so far behind the eight ball. Warren Sharp of Sharp Football recently appeared on the Ross Tucker Podcast to bring this detail to light.

“The Chiefs will play with less rest than their opponent SIX straight weeks!”

Rest is sure to factor in for the reigning champs as their 2023 campaign progresses, especially if there is a late-season fight for a playoff berth. In the midst of an AFC arms race, Kansas City will need to have an underdog mentality over the course of this crucial portion of their schedule to have any chance of securing a top seed in the postseason.

Chiefs are next
this is SHOCKING 👀
KC plays 6 STRAIGHT GAMES with less rest than their opponent
SIX! 🤯
late in the year (Wk 12-17), EVERY SINGLE GAME the Chiefs play is at a rest disadvantage

Sharp added in a later tweet that this kind of disadvantage hasn’t been given to a team in more than 35 years. It is time for Chiefs fans to ask the question so often posed by fans of other teams about Patrick Mahomes: Just how much help does the rest of the AFC need?

What Kansas State’s Chris Klieman said about Rutgers, Kyle Monangai’s absence for Rate Bowl

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — As Chris Klieman bounced around the midwest, going up and down the coaching ladder from a Division III DC to a national champion head coach at the FCS level before becoming Kansas State’s head coach, the Rutgers football program occasionally came onto his radar.

And in that span, he’s come to associate the Scarlet Knights — “a great program” — with a single person.

How to Watch Chiefs vs. Steelers: NFL Week 17 TV, Odds, Preview

For the first time since the 2022 AFC playoffs, the Kansas City Chiefs will square off against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Kansas City has a three-game winning streak over Pittsburgh, which includes the aforementioned contest in the Wild Card round of the postseason. This year, both teams have already clinched playoff berths but still have something to play for. The Chiefs, specifically, can get the best Christmas present of all by winning and locking up the one-seed and a first-round bye. A win makes them unreachable to the Buffalo Bills. The Steelers, on the other hand, are looking to maintain their division lead. They hold a conference tiebreaker over the surging Baltimore Ravens but are far from certain to keep that.

Here’s everything you need to know and how you can follow along with the Chiefs as they square off against the Steelers on Wednesday.

Game: Chiefs vs. Steelers

Location: Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Date and Time: Wednesday, December 25 at 12:00 p.m. CT

TV Channel: Netflix or KCTV local

Listen Live: WDAF (106.5 FM) Chiefs Radio Network or Tico Sports (Kansas City) for Spanish radio broadcast

Betting Line: Chiefs -3 (as of Wednesday morning)

This contest’s television broadcast team is highlighted by Ian Eagle (play-by-play) and both J.J. Watt and Nate Burleson (color) in the commentary booth. Melanie Collins and Stacey Dales will serve as the sideline reporters for Week 17’s matchup.
