Broncos, Chiefs have postseason hopes on line Sunday night

The Chiefs figured Hill would make his mark as a kick returner when they drafted him in the fifth round, but his role expanded when receiver Jeremy Maclin was sidelined November 6 in a game against the Jaguars.

The best tackle in the Kansas City Chiefs-Denver Broncos game on Sunday wasn’t make by a football player – instead, it was an all-star security guard. But one thing at a time, just worry about this week. The Chiefs host Denver on Sunday and then close at San Diego.

Numerous playoff spots are now set.

The Broncos previously played on Christmas Day in 1999 and 2004.

The Kansas City defense never gave Denver any real hope of getting back into the game.

A performance anywhere near like that against the Raiders – or even like the Broncos had in Oakland in their first meeting – in the finale would do wonders in helping the Raiders secure a top seed. On Saturday, Oakland took care of business, beating the Indianapolis Colts 33-25, and remain atop the AFC West. are in control of their own destiny.

The Chiefs have won nine straight within the division, including their dramatic win in Denver last month. Kelce, holding a Sunday Night Football “game ball, ” finished with a shout-out to his home turf.

A possible playoff spot is at stake for the Denver Broncos as well. If they split and finish 9-7, their chances of earning a wild card become slim, and would require help from a whole bunch of other teams.

“They played well; my hat’s off to them”, said Denver quarterback Trevor Siemian.

The Kansas City Chiefs needed another playmaker besides rookie sensation Tyreek Hill to invigorate an ever-growing offense during their AFC playoff push. Safety Justin Simmons intercepted and it returned it 38 yards, setting up a 1-yard touchdown run by Justin Forsett that cut the Chiefs’ lead to seven. Smith has struggled in the red zone all season long.

Offense and defense receives all the attention, but the Chiefs have proved that special teams can win you games.

Kelce himself later benefited from a wall of blockers that freed him for an 80-yard touchdown romp off a wide receiver screen pass.

Hill set up the Chiefs’ first touchdown with a 28-yard gain into Broncos territory on his first carry of the night. He now holds the record for the most 100-yard games by a tight end in a season with six. And this time, it truly is a must-win. All the information to tune into this game is listed below.
