The 12-3 Denver Broncos will host the 2-13 Kansas City Chiefs in their regular season finale at Sports Authority Field at Mile High this Sunday at 2:25 pm MT.
Denver has won the AFC West and is currently tied with Houston for the best record in the AFC. The Broncos are in control for a first-round bye and will earn it with a victory or a New England loss. If Denver wins and Houston loses, the Broncos will clinch home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs.
"Our goal is just to keep winning," says Denver wide receiver Demaryius Thomas about the team’s current 10-game winning streak. "That’s what we’ve done. We’ve won all 10 as a team. That’s all that matters."
