Chiefs, Broncos Set for Pivotal AFC West Matchup

Kansas City and Denver meet in a pivotal AFC West game, with the Chiefs seeking to strengthen their division lead and a Broncos win capable of tightening the race. Denver’s defense has been stingy in recent weeks and its pass rush has been productive, but the Broncos’ offense faces a key opportunity against a depleted Chiefs secondary. Kansas City will be without cornerback Mansoor Delane, who is out with a shoulder injury, while L’Jarius Sneed has been placed on injured reserve with a knee issue. Denver may look to use receiver alignments and motion to test the replacement coverage, though its ability to capitalize is uncertain, particularly with Jaylen Waddle’s availability also in question.
