Patrick Mahomes has been accurate in his comments about his availability for the final game of the NFL regular season for Andy Reid's Kansas City Chiefs. The Kansas City Chiefs will have a bye week during the Wild Card round of the postseason and a chance to get multiple players healthy in that time.
The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas in a game that continued their streak of not committing a turnover.

The Chiefs celebrated Christmas in style, as Kansas City clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC with a 29-10 win over the Steelers on Wednesday. The victory makes up for last year's Christmas loss when the Chiefs were upset by the Raiders.
Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce donned NFL-branded Santa coats to get the postgame party started. Then Reid followed in full Santa regalia, much to the delight of the Kansas City locker room.
