The Chiefs’ potential opponents next weekend are the No. 4 seed Jacksonville Jaguars, No. 5 seed Los Angeles Chargers, No. 6 seed Baltimore Ravens or No. 7 seed Miami Dolphins. Kansas City will play the lowest remaining seed following this weekend’s action, and as Mahomes explained, the Chiefs have the benefit of having played Jacksonville and Los Angeles already this year.
In addition to planning ahead, however, this week is also about rest. After a long season, it’s important that the Chiefs’ players take advantage of this bye week as they head into the playoffs. Taking this time to physically and mentally recalibrate is potentially just as important to a long playoff run as the preparation itself.
“You make sure you stay working out, stay moving around and [don’t] just sit on the couch all week, [but] when we get ready to go next week, I just try to be prepared and ready to roll,” Mahomes said. “So, [it’s] a little bit of both. You get off your feet and you rest, but you still move around enough that your body is in a good shape whenever you get to [our] first playoff game.”
Mahomes’ words set a great example for his teammates as they attack this week and beyond. The bye week is a great advantage for the Chiefs as they begin another postseason run, and if they can utilize it properly, the time off this week could go a long way in propelling Kansas City forward.
