Denny Medley - USA TODAY Sports

The Kansas City Chiefs got off to a very poor start this season, and saw their star running back go down early. However, they have been able to take advantage of a softer schedule, and are now one of the hottest teams in the league. Here are five reasons why they could win the Super Bowl this year.

5. Experienced Quarterback

Alex Smith may not be the best quarterback in the league, but he has proven that he can win playoff games. He often isn’t asked to do too much, but his running ability and accuracy on short throws helps to move the chains at key moments.

4. Dominant Pass Rush

The Chiefs have had some trouble with injuries, but Justin Houston should be back in time for the playoffs. He is one of the best pass rushers in the league, and has the benefit of playing with Tamba Hali on the opposite side of him. Getting pressure on the quarterback is huge in the playoffs.

3. Turnover Battle

The Chiefs rarely turn the ball over, as Smith is one of the more conservative quarterbacks in the league. While they might not take as many chances, it allows them to win the turnover battle, which is a key to winning the game.

2. Momentum

The Chiefs are arguably the hottest team in the NFL right now, and have responded extremely well since their star running back went down. They spread the ball to their different skill players on offense, while relying on a stout defense to win games. They are peaking at the right time.

1. Playmakers on Defense

Playmakers on Defense Denny Medley - USA TODAY Sports
Ultimately, the Chiefs will go as far as their defense can take them. They have plenty of playmakers who can change the game, and the team will need them to step up in the playoffs. They will be expected to make plays when it matters the most.

Texans Actually Tried J.J. Watt At QB
