Overview
- Kansas City enters Week 11 at 5-4, sitting third in the AFC West behind the Broncos (8-2) and Chargers (7-3).
- The Chiefs are currently the AFC's No. 8 seed, outside the playoff field due to a head-to-head tiebreaker loss to Jacksonville in Week 5.
- Mahomes urged the team to "handle business," noting a loss in Denver would give the Broncos the tiebreaker and create a steep gap in the division race.
- Denver has won seven straight and fields a top-tier defense, ranking third in both points and yards allowed.
- Despite the standings, sportsbooks list Kansas City as a slight road favorite, with lines around Chiefs -3.5 for Sunday in Denver.
