Chiefs Replay: Week 16 vs. the Cleveland Browns Even though the Kansas City Chiefs had won eight games in a row and had nine total wins at the time, they still had yet to clinch a playoff spot entering their Week 16 game against the Cleveland Browns.
If the Chiefs could beat the Browns and either the New York Jets or Pittsburgh Steelers lost, they would clinch a playoff berth.
Head coach Andy Reid's strategy in this, of course, was to push his team to focus on taking care of its own business.
On that Sunday during Week 16, that business was defeating quarterback Johnny Manziel and the then three-win Cleveland Browns.
