KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs are on the road once again, this time in Denver, to face the Broncos in a matchup between the top two teams in the AFC West.
Last week, Kansas City had a lifeless showing on Sunday Night Football against the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks, losing 20-3 in front of the 12s at Lumen Field. The Chiefs entered that game in Seattle with a 5-0 record.
The Broncos continue to find ways to win, as they did last season. Denver enters Sunday on a three-game winning streak and is right on the Chiefs' tail at 5-2. Four of their five victories have been decided by one score.
Follow all of our updates from today's game below.
