The Game
For Week 7, the Kansas City Chiefs are facing the Denver Broncos, going on the road to complete the first round of 2020’s divisional games. Kickoff is set for 3:25 p.m. (Arrowhead Time) on Sunday. The game will be broadcast on CBS — locally on KCTV/5.
The Chiefs are 5-1 as they continue to defend their 2019 NFL championship, coming off a 26-17 victory over the Buffalo Bills in Week 6. The Broncos come into the game 2-3, having won their last two games — most recently, an 18-12 road victory against the New England Patriots.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes leads the Chiefs offense. Through six games, he’s thrown for 1,699 yards, 15 touchdowns and just one interception. His passer rating is 110.9, which is the league’s fourth-best mark. Broncos quarterback Drew Lock — a Lee’s Summit native who was selected by the Broncos in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft — has missed three games this season. He had a rough outing when he returned for the Week 6 win over New England, notching a passer rating of just 34.9 after throwing two interceptions. But in the five games he started in 2019, he showed signs of being a solid NFL quarterback.
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid continues his 22nd season as an NFL head coach — his eighth in Kansas City. During his tenure, the Chiefs have made the playoffs in all but one season — and brought the NFL’s Vince Lombardi trophy home from Miami last February. Facing Reid is another experienced NFL coach. Now in his second season as Broncos head coach, Vic Fangio has 33 years in the league — most of it as a defensive coordinator.
As charter franchises of the American Football League — and division rivals for 60 seasons — the two teams have a long history together. Reid lost five straight to Denver after arriving in Kansas City, but the Chiefs have now won their last nine against the Broncos — most recently, a 23-3 win at Arrowhead Stadium last December.
