KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Todd Haley did a nose count to see how many Kansas City Chiefs own what he calls “priceless” playoff experience and was pleased to find that 21 do.
That also means 32 don’t.
Players who were key to Kansas City’s six-game improvement such as Jamaal Charles and Tamba Hali will be tasting playoff pressure for the first time when the Chiefs host the battle-savvy Baltimore Ravens in a 1 p.m. EST kickoff on Arrowhead Stadium’s cold, hard turf.
If playoff experience proves decisive, the Ravens (12-4) should be on their way to their fourth playoff win in three seasons. Cast as the wild-card team because they lost the tiebreaker to Pittsburgh, the Ravens are 3-2 in road playoff games since January 2009.
