The Denver Broncos face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 8 at Empower Field at Mile High. A win would elevate Denver's record to 6-2 and drop Kansas City's to 5-2. This matchup is significant as the Broncos look to capitalize on their recent success, going 5-1 since their Week 1 loss to the Chiefs. If Denver wins and both teams are tied in the standings after the Broncos' Week 10 bye, Kansas City would maintain a tiebreaker with a better division record. The game is scheduled for Sunday at 4:25 p.m. MT.
