Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Dunta Robinson feels that his side have to raise their performances against the better teams in the AFC.

The Chiefs fell to their fourth defeat of the season as they were hammered by the Indianapolis Colts, continuing their trend of losing to playoff-calibre teams in their conference.

"We gotta look in the mirror and we gotta decide what kind of team we want to be moving forward," Robinson told the Kansas City Star.

"Yeah, OK, you dominate Oakland. Yeah, you dominate [Washington]. But what are we going to do when we face other powerhouses? We're a much better team than we showed today."

Andy Reid's side have secured the number five seed in the AFC playoffs going into week 17.
