Chiefs lost crucial game to allow Denver into postseasonKansas City have struggled against Cincinnati in playoffs
Travis Kelce has rebutted claims that the Kansas City Chiefs rested starters in their final game of the regular season in order to deny the Cincinnati Bengals a place in the playoffs.
After the Bengals won their final game of the regular season last Saturday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, they needed the Denver Broncos to lose to the Chiefs and the New York Jets to beat the Miami Dolphins the following day. The Jets duly overcame the Dolphins, but a severely weakened Chiefs team lost 38-0 to the Broncos, allowing Denver to claim the final wildcard spot in the AFC.
