Kansas City Chiefs take on Washington Football Team in a week six clash. Usually a fixture like this would draw lesser attention, but the Chiefs have been in a spiral for the past month. With three losses in their first five fixtures, their momentum is more than just derailed. Fortunately for them, they will have Tyreek Hill be a part of their squad again.
