The Kansas City Chiefs’ crazy win on Sunday night will have a significant impact on the playoff picture the rest of the season. And it wasn’t the best result for the Oakland Raiders.

That win set up the Chiefs to steal the AFC West from the Raiders. No, I don’t hate the Raiders. In fact, I think they’re the most entertaining team in the league this season. Yes, I watch the games. It’s even possible they’re slightly better than the Chiefs. No, I’m not a Chiefs fan/Kansas City native/Andy Reid’s nephew. And no, I don’t want to (redacted) or think that’s physically possible anyway.

That should answer most of the Raiders’ fans comments for the week.

Here’s part of why I like the Chiefs going forward: They’re getting better, with Justin Houston finally back (his return was easily the most underrated story of the NFL season; Houston is a $100 million player for a reason), Tyreek Hill emerging as a much-needed playmaker in a bland offense and the Chiefs presumably getting injured impact players like Dee Ford and Jeremy Maclin back soon.

More than that, it comes down to schedules and tiebreakers.

The Chiefs beat the Raiders in Oakland on Oct. 16 (and did so fairly handily). If the Chiefs beat Oakland in Kansas City – on what should be a cold Thursday night on Dec. 8 – they’ll own the tiebreaker. And the Chiefs will be favored in that game.

The Raiders’ remaining schedule is difficult. They still have road games left against the Chargers, Chiefs and Broncos. Even Sunday’s home game against the Bills isn’t a gimme. The Chiefs’ schedule is tough too, but as long as they handle business at home on that Thursday night against the Raiders, they’ll be in good shape. If the Chiefs beat the Raiders on Dec. 8, the Raiders might have to go 4-0 in the rest of their games to win the division. They’re in front now, but it’s going to be tough to hold off the Chiefs.

That result on Sunday night, when Cairo Santos banked in a field goal for the win after Gary Kubiak decided to try a 62-yard field goal, helped the Chiefs and hurt the Broncos. It might end up hurting the Raiders too.

Here are the power rankings after Week 12 of the NFL season:

32. Cleveland Browns (0-12, Last week: 32)

Hue Jackson was late to his postgame news conference, arriving almost 40 minutes after the game was done. Marla Ridenour of the Akron Beacon Journal said Jackson was late because he had a long meeting with upper management. Jackson insisted the meeting had nothing to do with his job security. I believe that. However, I also know Browns owner Jimmy Haslam has been impatient and unable to stick to any plan, and it would set the Browns back again to push the reset button if they go 0-16.

31. San Francisco 49ers (1-10, LW: 31)

Colin Kaepernick has played pretty well over the last four weeks, and was good on Sunday. This is why it never made sense for the 49ers to seemingly be so worried about Kaepernick’s injury guarantees that they rewrote his contract so he can opt out after the season. Kaepernick playing well isn’t even that much of a positive for the 49ers, because if he plays too well he’ll leave for another team.

30. Chicago Bears (2-9, LW: 30)

I still can’t believe Josh Bellamy dropped that pass in the end zone. Nothing sums up this year’s Bears better than that. On the bright side, was that Matt Barkley performance for real? Putting up 316 yards and three touchdowns, even on 54 attempts, is promising.

29. Jacksonville Jaguars (2-9, LW: 29)

Sometimes, if you squint really hard, you see glimpses. The defense shut down a good Bills team in the first half. They played right with Buffalo the whole game. If they can get Blake Bortles’ problems fixed this offseason – far from the sure thing, of course – and they find a good coach, maybe 2017 has some promise? Maybe?
