The NFL playoffs are where legends are made and goals are achieved every single year. This year is no different as the Kansas City Chiefs along with 13 other teams share the same goal: Lifting the Lombardi.

Many players won’t admit it. It’s all about the team, but as long as they win, they also want to raise their stock and transform their public perception by picking up accolades and showing they are known for rising to the occasion in the postseason.

Players who know they didn’t accomplish what they wanted in the regular season or have been disappointing in the past know they can more than make up for it by stepping up in the postseason. Other players who have a payday ahead can lock up some extra cash by proving their worth on the highest stage.

The Chiefs have a handful of players who certainly would fall in that category and have a great opportunity given the new format has the Chiefs playing four postseason games at most. That means four potential games for the following players to build up their portfolio.
