As a jam-packed week 13 of the NFL comes to a close, we were gifted with lots of great games, including many surprises, as well as big playoff implications for many teams.

Here are the top seven takeaways from this week's action.

5The Chiefs are in serious contention of missing the playoffs

After a loss to the Dallas Cowboys this week, the Chiefs are in serious strife to miss the playoffs for the first time since 2014.

Currently with a record of 6-6, it seems it will be too hard for them to win the division with how good the Broncos have been. So it seems the only way is through the wildcard. With five games to go, they face the Broncos, Chargers, Texans, Titans, and Raiders.

They might have to win every single one of those games to make an appearance in the playoffs.
