The Kansas City Chiefs headed into the fourth quarter in Indianapolis on Sunday trailing 24-21, but they escaped with a 28-24 win. And coach Todd Haley escaped with his job.
According to a report from Nick Wright of KCSP-AM (via NFL.com), it really was a narrow escape for Haley, as Chiefs G.M. Scott Pioli was prepared to fire Haley if the Chiefs lost to the Colts.
However, Pioli told ArrowheadPride.com the report was “100 percent false.”
Haley has been on the hot seat since Week One, and when the Chiefs started the season looking like the worst team in the league, it appeared that his firing was a matter of “when,” not “if.”
But now that the Chiefs are on a two-game winning streak, Pioli is saying that the “when” was never going to be as early as five games into the season.
