Broncos vs. Chiefs: Kansas City keeps it close, but Denver prevails

Though the AFC isn’t as strong as the NFC this season, the Chiefs can only snare a 7-9 record at best, and that’s not likely to earn them a playoff berth. The rivalry aspect of this game might be the only thing they have to fight for on Sunday.

The Chiefs are the new really bad team in the NFL, sporting a 1-9 record and a generally miserable season with few high points. Those high points include an overtime victory over the New Orleans Saints in Week 3 and a narrow overtime loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 10. That game against Pittsburgh was the first time the Chiefs held a lead in regulation all season.
