Kansas City and Denver's combined 17-1 records marks the highest winning percentage between two NFL teams in over 40 years. The Chiefs have had two weeks to prepare for this game, upping their anticipation, while the Broncos have had this game circled on their calendars since it was clear how improved the Chiefs are this year.
The Broncos boast the NFL's highest-scoring offense - the Chiefs, its best scoring defense. Peyton Manning is hobbled with an ankle sprain, making the importance of the Broncos protecting him magnified higher.
