Overview
- A Denver win combined with a Los Angeles Chargers loss or tie would clinch the AFC West, and two closing victories would lock up the AFC’s top seed and first‑round bye.
- Kansas City turns to Chris Oladokun at quarterback after Patrick Mahomes tore knee ligaments and Gardner Minshew suffered a knee injury, with multiple other starters sidelined.
- Kickoff is set for Thursday, Dec. 25, at 8:15 p.m. ET at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.
- Outlets report differing broadcast arrangements, including Amazon Prime Video in the United States, Netflix cited for some U.S. Spanish‑language coverage, and ESPN/Disney+ in Mexico, with NFL Game Pass also listed in some guides.
- The matchup follows the Chiefs’ plan for a $3 billion domed stadium in Kansas, and some reports suggest this could be Travis Kelce’s last home game, though no retirement decision is announced.
