Football fans have warned the Kansas City Chiefs that their bye in the first round of the NFL playoffs may actually be a curse. That's because in this week's round of college playoff quarterfinal games, all four teams that won their conference and earned a bye got eliminated.

Ohio State comfortably beat Oregon, Notre Dame beat Georgia, Penn State defeated Boise State and Arizona State was eliminated by Texas. The Chiefs have advanced directly to the AFC's divisional round after securing the No. 1 seed with their Christmas Day win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Not only do they get a bye but the Chiefs can also rest a number of key starters, including quarterback Patrick Mahomes, for this week's final regular season game against the Denver Broncos. But fans have warned the Chiefs that they should play their key men on Sunday to avoid being rusty when they eventually begin their postseason schedule.

One posted on X: 'Not one team that got a bye in the CFP advanced. The Chiefs should take note and play all their starters this Sunday.
Another commented: 'Every bye week team gets slaughtered/beat. Play your starters @Chiefs'. A third added: 'Hey @Chiefs kind of interesting that all four team that had a bye in the College Football playoff lost, don't you think?'. A Bills fan posted: 'Every College Football team with a first round bye lost which leads me to believe the Chiefs will lose in the second round.'.
