Match-Up & Game Preview

This is a true AFC West showdown, as both teams are battling for divisional seeding and respect.

Chiefs Overview

Coming off a bye, the Chiefs (5-4) have some work ahead of them. Their offense, led by Patrick Mahomes, still poses one of the league’s most dangerous threats when fully healthy. However, in recent weeks they’ve looked less sharp — in particular, Mahomes completed under 50% of his passes in a recent outing, something that hasn’t happened before. Arrowhead Pride
Defensively, Kansas City must generate consistent pressure and avoid breakdowns in the secondary. With some banged-up pieces, they’ll need to dig in.

Broncos Overview

The Broncos (8-2) are riding a strong wave of momentum with a seven-game win streak. Arrowhead Pride+1 Their defense is emerging as one of the tougher units in the league, but their offense has been middling — particularly the passing attack. In their last game they only scored 10 points and the QB threw two picks. Arrowhead Pride
For Denver, dominating the line of scrimmage and keeping Mahomes under pressure are their keys to shutting down Kansas City’s high-octane offense.

Key Battles

• Offensive line vs. pass rush: The Broncos’ defensive front must disrupt Mahomes and the Chiefs’ passing game. If Kansas City’s blockers (especially Simmons if he plays) can hold up, the Chiefs have the advantage.

• Running game impact: With Pacheco questionable and Dobbins possibly out, each team’s capacity to run effectively could swing momentum.

• Turnover margin: Denver must force mistakes. Kansas City can’t afford repeat low-completion performances from Mahomes.

• Home-field in Denver: The altitude and crowd at Mile High always favor the Broncos. Kansas City must adapt fast.
