At 8-9, they Denver Broncos have already secured their fifth straight losing season and a sixth straight season without a postseason bid. Meanwhile the Kansas City Chiefs are chasing the top seed and a first round bye in the AFC playoffs, a huge boon if Andy Reid hopes to coach in a third straight Super Bowl. With painfully little at stake in Denver, this game looks like it could turn ugly fast.
The game doesn’t have to be a buzzkill just because Drew Lock won’t beat the Chiefs for the first time since Peyton Manning, however.
