chiefs going to the playoffs after all? (UPDATE: yep) (UPDATE: broncos’ williams shot and killed)
One more domino needs to fall. The Jets have the fifth playoff spot cinched up. The Chiefs needed to beat Jacksonville — which they did, 35-30 — and also needed Tennessee, Denver, and Cincinnati each to lose.
Well — the Titans are losing 33-23 with two minutes remaining against New England. The Bengals have just lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers in overtime. And the Broncos are in a scoreless tie with San Francisco midway through the first quarter.
UPDATE: New England has just scored another touchdown to ice it, 40-23. Go 49ers! And not to get too wound up, but the Chiefs’ first-round opponent, should they qualify, would be the run-porous Indianapolis Colts.
UPDATE [20:53]: The San Francisco 49ers oblige, beating Denver 26-23 in overtime. The Chiefs qualify for the playoffs and will play in Indianapolis on Saturday at 3:30.
UPDATE [10:30 01.01.2007]: Bizarre — Bronco cornerback Darrent Williams was apparently killed overnight in a drive-by shooting in Denver.
