The Chiefs also clinched a first-round bye for the first time since 2003, but they lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Divisional round 18–16 despite holding them to no touchdowns. 3 Violation of anti-tampering policy On March 9, 2016, the NFL announced that the Chiefs had violated the league's anti-tampering policy while pursuing wide receiver Jeremy Maclin during the 2015 off-season. The NFL defines tampering as prospective teams contacting soon-to-be free agents before NFL policies allow, which is two days prior to the beginning of the new league year. As punishment, the Chiefs forfeited their 2016 third-round selection, a 2017 sixth-round selection, and were fined $250,000. In addition, head coach Andy Reid was fined $75,000, and general manager John Dorsey was fined $25,000.Chiefs lose two draft picks for tampering with Maclin https://www.nfl.com/news/chiefs-lose-two-draft-picks-for-tampering-with-maclin-0ap3000000642959 NFL.com The Chiefs immediately appealed the decision believing the punishment was excessively harsh and inconsistent with punishments that have given to other teams in similar situations. On April 19, the NFL denied the Chiefs appeal, however, they did reduce the team's fine to $200,000 and Reid's fine to $60,000.NFL denies Kansas City Chiefs' anti-tampering appeal https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-denies-kansas-city-chiefs-anti-tampering-appeal-0ap3000000653896 NFL.com NFL Top 100 The Chiefs had an NFL best 9 players in the annual Top 100 Players countdown.
