KANSAS CITY, Mo. - After the way the Kansas City Chiefs collapsed toward the end of last season, and especially in the playoffs, they arrived at training camp in July with the mantra of finish.It didnt matter whether it was a drive, a game or the entire season.Well, they havent done a very good job of it lately.The Chiefs have lost three straight beginning with a defeat to lowly Oakland, their opponent again on Sunday. What once was a team that was 7-3 and barrelling toward the playoffs is now a team that must win at least two of its final three to qualify — and might just need a clean sweep.We face adversity each and every day, linebacker Joe Mays said. Its easy to play well when youre winning. Its easy to accept coaching when youre winning. But when youre losing, thats when you have to step up and thats when you have to play better.Thats something that Kansas City never could do last season.After winning two games the previous season, the Chiefs began coach Andy Reids tenure by rattling off nine straight victories. They were suddenly the talk of the NFL, the best record in the league. Then they went to AFC West-rival Denver and were flattened, 27-17.The loss began a streak of three straight defeats not unlike this seasons swoon.And while Kansas City bounced back to win twice more, the Chiefs backed into the post-season with losses to Indianapolis and San Diego — granted, they rested nearly all their starters in the finale.They didnt rest any of them in the playoffs, though. And after taking a 38-10 lead early in the third quarter, the Chiefs failed to finish.Andrew Luck and the Colts stormed back to score the eventual winning touchdown on a 64-yard pass to TY Hilton with about 4 minutes left in the 45-44 victory, sending the Chiefs into an off-season with some very bruised egos.You do have to learn from that, Reid said. We put an emphasis on finishing and so now youre down to three games and so you put the clutter of the playoffs and all that out of your mind, and you focus in on how to take care of the finish. You take care of the game that you can control and thats the one taking place this week.Besides, its not such a welcomed sight if they were to look ahead.After playing the Raiders (2-11) at Arrowhead Stadium, the Chiefs finish up with a trip to Pittsburgh and a home game against San Diego, a pair of teams also in the playoff mix.You know, you cant get to the end of the line unless you take that first step, and it starts Sunday, quarterback Alex Smith said. Stay shortsighted, not getting ahead of yourself. Everything is right there, right in front of us.Mays said the Chiefs remain focused on the short term thanks to Reid, who never gets too high or too low. The coachs even demeanour has prevented a young locker room from panicking after three subpar performances, including that disastrous loss a few weeks ago to Oakland.Hes real cool, calm and collected, Mays said. He always stays that medium level, whether its a win or a loss. I think thats great to have in a head coach because if hes not panicking, we cant panic. Hes going to attack his job each and every day the same way.That doesnt mean that Reid is trying to sugar-coat things. He understands that the season has gone from promising to perilous, and that the Chiefs need to find a win on Sunday.You have to be real with that, Reid said. You have to learn from your mistakes in order to do that and be real with that. Thats how well go about it here.NOTES: RB Jamaal Charles, LB Tamba Hali and TE Anthony Fasano did not practice Wednesday with knee injuries. All are listed day to day. ...
