DENVER — Another high-stakes showdown is set to take place at Empower Field this weekend as our Denver Broncos get set to take on the Kansas City Chiefs.
If the Broncos can beat their division rivals, they advance to the playoffs.
If they aren't able to overcome, they have to hope for both a Cincinnati Bengals and a Miami Dolphins loss to keep the seventh seed.
Some good news though, with Kansas City already securing the top seed in the AFC, and the first-round bye, they have nothing to play for, so they're expected to sit the majority of their star lineup.
"Whoever wears those shoulder pads and is wearing red, white, and yellow we have to beat them, boys. We don't care who shows up and plays, who sits, who does play, who doesn't play. We don't care about any of that. The Broncos have to show up on Sunday and win the game."
Kickoff is set for Sunday, January 5, at 2:25 from Empower Field.
If the Broncos win, they'll face the Buffalo Bills on the road in an AFC Wildcard Matchup next Sunday, January 12.
