NFL playoffs: What happens if the Chiefs lose against the Jaguars in the Divisional round?
If the Chiefs lose to the Jaguars in the Divisional round of the NFL playoffs, Kansas City will be officially eliminated in a major upset. Then, as the worst seeded team in the conference, Jacksonville would advance to the AFC Championship Game and their next rival on the road would be the Buffalo Bills or the Cincinnati Bengals.
Considering the Jaguars would remain as the worst seeded team in the AFC, it's important to remember that they won't have another game at home during the postseason.
The path to an unexpected Super Bowl for Jacksonville has to go first through Kansas City and then, inevitably, through Buffalo or Cincinnati. If the Jaguars shock the NFL with those two wins, anything would be possible in the Super Bowl.
