Denver Broncos vs Kansas City Chiefs

1Active on GamedayActive

September 14 · 8:15 PM EDT

KC -3 · O/U 42.5

What to look for

There's a playoff line running through this one: Broncos sit in a postseason spot, while Chiefs are on the outside chasing a crossover, so it means a little more to the club playing from behind. Broncos arrive on a 1-game win streak.

Last five games

Each side's most recent results, newest first, with the score and who they played. These reach back into last season where a club has not played five yet, which is why every row carries its date.
