The Chiefs will be battling to potentially move into first place in the AFC as they welcome the Broncos to Arrowhead Stadium in Week 17.
Kansas City enters the week tied with Buffalo for the best record in the AFC at 12-3, but it is second in the conference because of the head-to-head tiebreaker. A win by the Chiefs this week would keep the pressure on the Bills, who face a tough matchup against the Bengals on "Monday Night Football."
With a win and a Buffalo loss, Kansas City would be in great position to secure the No. 1 seed and an all-important first-round bye in the playoffs.

What is there left to be said about the Broncos? This season will go down as one of the most spectacular failures in NFL history by a team with high expectations.
Denver's ownership fired head coach Nathaniel Hackett on Monday after another abysmal performance in a 51-14 blowout loss to the lowly Rams. Jerry Rosburg, formerly a senior assistant for the team, took over as interim head coach and will lead the trip to Arrowhead this week.
It doesn't look as though Russell Wilson is going anywhere, however. The veteran quarterback has been poor this season, but his massive contract will make it extraordinarily difficult for the Broncos to part ways with him after one year together. He'll face another big challenge this week in a hostile environment.
