Englewood, Colo. • The Denver Broncos have nothing to play for Sunday against Kansas City except pride and personal milestones such as C.J. Anderson adding "1,000-yard rusher " to his resume.
The fifth-year running back is 54 yards shy of becoming the franchise's first 1,000-yard rusher since Knowshon Moreno in 2013.
That would give the Broncos (5-10) something to celebrate in a soured season that in many ways was their worst since their awful AFL days in the 1960s.
Demaryius Thomas is 108 yards shy of that milestone, but he'll likely be catching passes from Paxton Lynch and not Brock Osweiler on Sunday, so odds are better Anderson will reach his milestone.
