The Denver Broncos, who are on a seven-game winning run heading into Week 11, will face AFC West rivals Kansas City Chiefs at Empower Field at Mile High on Sunday in what could be their biggest test of the season thus far.
The Broncos-Chiefs game is particularly important since Denver is leading the AFC West and wants to solidify its place against a Kansas City squad that has won the division title nine times in a row. The Broncos would be in a stronger position to win the divisional title if they could secure a win on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the Chiefs also need to win on the road to keep their playoff hopes alive after a 5-4 start to the season.

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes has had great success against the Broncos in his career to date. He has a 13-1 record against the franchise, completing 67% of his throws and averaging 269 yards per game against them with 20 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. However, he is expected to face a tougher challenge this time around against a Denver defense that has recorded the most sacks in the league this season.
