The Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs are playing live on the NFL Week 13 schedule on Sunday night and the game from Arrowhead Stadium is on NBC at 8:30 pm ET as the AFC West rivals matchup and things will be streaming online from the NBCSN Live Extra website as Peyton Manning and Alex Smith battle.
The Broncos come into the game after a high scoring win against the Miami Dolphins and now they have another playoff contender in the Chiefs. Last season the Broncos won the division over the Chiefs and this matchup should play a big part in how the AFC West unfolds this season. The Broncos have tough games down the stretch, as the next four games have matchups with playoff contending teams and three of those will be on the road.
The team ends the season against the Raiders at home, but the next four weeks will be tough, as they visit the Chiefs, host the Bills, visit the Chargers and also visit the Bengals for the final Monday night football game of the season. The Broncos have alternated wins and losses for the last four games and now they are looking to get going on a good streak to finish the season. Manning has 34 touchdowns this season and the Chiefs come in with zero touchdowns to their wide receivers and the Chiefs come in ranked fourth in the league in rushing yards per game this year.
The Chiefs are 7-4 this season and third in the AFC West and they had won five straight games before losing to the Oakland Raiders. The Chiefs have a rough slate to finish the season and the AFC is getting very tight in the playoff picture, with the Chargers and Bills also in the mix. The Chiefs have the Broncos and then a road matchup with the Cardinals and after that they play against the Raiders, Steelers and Chargers.
The Broncos started the season strong and they are still one of the best teams in the NFL this season and they are looking to get back to the Super Bowl after losing to the Seahawks last season. The team comes in ranked second in passing yards per game and second in rushing yards allowed per game and that should make this matchup a tight one. Peyton Manning has been going to Demaryius Thomas quite a bit and he is leading the team with 82 catches for nearly 1200 yards and he should be the main target on Sunday night.
The Broncos have been getting some strong play from CJ Anderson this season after injuries to Ronnie Hillman and Montee Ball and he comes in after nearly putting up 200 yards last week total. This week the team matches up with a tough defense and the Broncos are looking to start this one off fast and strong.
