The Kansas City Chiefs are set to host the Denver Broncos on Christmas Day in a Week 17 matchup. Despite being eliminated from playoff contention, the Chiefs will look to salvage their season against a strong Broncos team vying for the number one seed in the AFC.

The game will take place at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, with kickoff scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET. The contest can be livestreamed on Amazon Prime Video.

According to weather forecasts, the temperature is expected to be around 45 degrees, with a RealFeel temperature of 48 degrees. There is an 11% chance of precipitation, with winds blowing from the southwest at 6 mph and gusts reaching up to 13 mph.

The Chiefs have struggled this season, currently on a four-game losing streak after defeats to the Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans, Los Angeles Chargers, and Tennessee Titans. They will be without quarterback Patrick Mahomes and are significant underdogs against the Broncos. This season marks the end of their nine-year streak of winning the AFC West and will be the first time they miss the playoffs under the Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes era.

In contrast, the Denver Broncos are having a stellar season under head coach Sean Payton, with 11 wins in their last 12 games. They boast one of the best defenses in the league and are poised to make a strong playoff run. The Broncos will look to maintain their momentum and secure the top seed in the AFC with a win over the Chiefs.

The Broncos’ impressive performance this season is a testament to their strength and resilience. With their sights set on the playoffs, they will need to overcome the challenges posed by the Chiefs, who will be looking to spoil their opponents’ plans and end their season on a high note. The outcome of this game will have significant implications for the AFC standings and the playoffs.
