Overview
- Kickoff is set for Sunday at 4:05 p.m. ET at Empower Field at Mile High, with coverage on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.
- The Broncos lead the division at 8-2 ahead of the 7-3 Chargers and 5-4 Chiefs, and betting markets price Denver +120 to win the West with Kansas City at +165.
- Denver’s defense has produced an NFL-best 46 sacks through 10 games, the most in that span since the 1989 Vikings, led by Nik Bonitto and Jonathon Cooper.
- Denver will again be without All-Pro corner Patrick Surtain II, and rookie quarterback Bo Nix has struggled lately with a season-low 220 yards in Week 10 and four interceptions over his past three games.
- Kansas City returns from a bye after an uneven start, with Patrick Mahomes’ off-schedule playmaking, Rashee Rice’s surge since suspension, Andy Reid’s 22-4 post-bye record, and an 0-4 mark in one-score games shaping expectations.
