The Broncos will fight for their lives to secure a spot in the postseason in the last game of the regular season. The Kansas City Chiefs have already secured the top seed in the AFC and will rest Patrick Mahomes amongst others. Will The Broncos finally close the playoff deal?
The Broncos have not been in the playoffs since they won the Super Bowl in 2015. This is the third straight game that The Denver Broncos can secure their spot in The NFL playoffs. The Broncos will get into the postseason with a win vs the Chiefs at home in Denver tonight. The Bengals took care of the Steelers Saturday and will get the last wild card spot if the Broncos and the Dolphins lose tonight. The Denver Broncos are still in control of their own destiny.
The Broncos have lost to The Bengals (24-30) and to the Chargers (27-34) in their two last games and haven't been able to secure the long-awaited postseason slot. They have a record of nine wins and seven losses so far. The pressure is on for the Head Coach Sean Payton and the rookie QB Bo Nix. Now it's the time to deliver a win for The Broncos country. The outspoken ambition for the Broncos all season has been to get to the playoffs. If they lose at home tonight the season will be a failure.
The two AFC West rivals faced each other in Kansas City on Nov 10th and the Chiefs won a close game, 16-14. The Chiefs are 15-1 this season. Their only loss came away to the Bills. The Head Coach Andy Reid will rest all of his starters. Some people are complaining that it is not fair, but Reid must do what's best for the Chiefs and nobody else. The Chiefs are trying to three-peat, something that nobody's ever done before in the NFL.
We can take one thing totally for granted about the game. Andy Reid will come up with a match plan built to beat the Denver Broncos. The Kansas City Chiefs will not give away an inch for free to one of the franchise’s biggest rivals historically. Kansas City has won 18 out of the last 19 games with the Broncos. Carson Wendtz will be the QB for the Chiefs in place of Mahomes.
