How to watch Kansas City Chiefs-Denver Broncos in Week 18 NFL game: time, TV, odds
A Broncos victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday puts Denver in the NFL playoffs for the first time since winning Super Bowl 50 after the 2015 season.
But a loss opens the door for the two other AFC teams in the hunt, the Cincinnati Bengals and Miami Dolphins. If both of those teams win in Week 18 and the Chiefs beat the Broncos, the Dolphins will be the No. 7 seed in the AFC.
Denver is 9-7. The Dolphins and Bengals are 8-8.
The Chiefs-Broncos game kicks off Sunday at 3:25 p.m. (Central Time). The Bengals play at the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday at 7 p.m.. The Dolphins play at the New York Jets on Sunday at 3:25 p.m.
For the Chiefs (15-1), who wrapped up the AFC’s top seed with their Christmas Day victory at the Pittsburgh Steelers, they’ll look to become the second team in NFL history with 16 regular-season victories.
When the Chiefs have entered the final game with their playoff position locked in, coach Andy Reid has typically rested multiple starting players.
A year ago, when the Chiefs had clinched the third seed entering the final game, quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce didn’t play against the Los Angeles Chargers.
