Of the three teams it looks as though the Chiefs have the easiest road to the playoffs and they will probably make it in.

“He’s playing well”, Bowles said.
“Most receivers have this mentality where they think that their play is going to change the game”, Marshall said.
Antonio played some quarterback in high school and Marcus is an athlete who has played many positions and has caught a few passes in his day.
On what guys like him and Marshall tell younger guys about controlling their own destiny at this point in the season…
“We’re playing good football, but we still have a long way to go”, Pryor said. That is how you beat a blitzing team, you don’t win by leaving your QB behind a bad center, an unproven left guard, and a right guard who has shown he has to hold to win in the passing game.
So there’s no extra concern over what the Chiefs do next weekend at Baltimore. Meanwhile, the Steelers go against Denver, followed by the Ravens and the Bills. “But I make my opinion known, yes”, Bowles said. “Everything else will take care of itself”. If we’re going to go anywhere, it’s not the defense that’s going to take us.
The New York Jets pulled off a dramatic come-from-behind win against their co-tenants of MetLife Stadium last week to stay in the thick of the AFC wild-card race. “We had the matchup we wanted inside”. “This is a huge week for us”.

Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker are having monstrous seasons with Fitzpatrick throwing to them.

The Titans finally produced some offense in the third quarter, when they recorded three first downs on their second drive before Andrews’ 41-yard touchdown pass to Mariota out of the Wildcat formation.
Since trimming his trademark bushy beard, Fitzpatrick has thrown nine TDs, zero interceptions and has an average 111.5 rating in a three-game winning streak.
“He gets the job done”, Decker said.
But the biggest laugh the Jets had at Tennessee’s expense came late in the first half with Gang Green already ahead, 20-0. He’s led us down the field in critical situations.
Marshall and Decker have been dominant, as dynamic a receiving duo there is in the NFL. “But I’m talking to the team, and I want them all listening, not just one guy”.
