The Kansas City Chiefs are under no illusions as to what is in front of them in Week 15, as their season is slowly slipping from their grasp.
The loss to the Houston Texans was another nail in Kansas City's playoff hopes, but even at 6-7, the Chiefs aren't out of playoff contention, despite the consensus being that Andy Reid's team won't be part of it.
That brings us to Week 15 and the Los Angeles Chargers, with the Chiefs needing to win to keep any hope of the postseason alive, but after Sunday, the mood in the locker room was down.
But what about now? As the Chargers come into view?
"They want to get to work," Reid said. "That's kind of how they're wired, I think they're eager to get back on the field and get going. Everybody knows where we stand right now, they know what's taken place. Very aware."

Chiefs 'aware' of dire situation
Considering what has transpired over the last five weeks as the Chiefs have gone 1-4, the fact that they still aren't out of the playoff mix is surreal.
Many thought losing to the Dallas Cowboys would be the final straw, then the Texans would be, but here we are, at Week 15, and the Chiefs haven't been officially eliminated from the postseason.
They are the one team that others simply don't want to face in the postseason, and the Chargers are the latest to take a crack at the defending AFC champs.
