AFC West Division rivals will clash on Sunday afternoon, when the Denver Broncos travel to Arrowhead Stadium to face the Kansas City Chiefs. The Broncos (5-8) have won consecutive games and have struggled to move the ball consistently this season. On Sunday, Denver built a 28-point halftime lead and held on to earn a 38-24 road victory against Houston.

Rookie QB Drew Lock threw for 309 yards and three touchdowns, while rookie TE Noah Fant added 113 receiving yards and a score. Kareem Jackson had an interception and returned a fumble for a touchdown against his former team.

The Kansas City Chiefs (9-3) are riding a three-game winning streak and trail New England by one full game for the second seed in the AFC playoffs. On Sunday, Kansas City outscored New England by 17 points during the second quarter of a 23-16 road triumph. The Chiefs limited the Patriots to 278 yards of total offense and sacked Tom Brady three times.

Kansas City QB Patrick Mahomes completed 26 of his 40 passing attempts for 283 yards and a touchdown. Travis Kelce caught seven passes for 66 yards and added a rushing touchdown for the Chiefs, who clinched the AFC West Division title with the win.

Kansas City QB Patrick Mahomes’ X-rays on his right hand came back negative and he will likely play on Sunday. The Broncos will have to run the ball effectively to keep Mahomes and company off the field. Take Denver to keep things tighter than expected in this division matchup. Final Score Prediction, Kansas City Chiefs win but fall short ATS 23-20.
