The Kansas City Chiefs will host the Denver Broncos on Christmas Day in a Week 17 matchup at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET, and the game can be livestreamed on Amazon Prime Video. Weather forecasts call for a temperature of about 45 °F with a RealFeel of 48 °F, an 11 % chance of precipitation, and southwest winds at 6 mph gusting to 13 mph.
The Chiefs enter the game after a four‑game losing streak, having fallen to the Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans, Los Angeles Chargers, and Tennessee Titans. They are without quarterback Patrick Mahomes and are significant underdogs against a strong Broncos team. This season marks the end of the Chiefs’ nine‑year run of AFC West titles and will be the first time they miss the playoffs under the Andy Reid‑Patrick Mahomes era.
In contrast, the Denver Broncos are enjoying a stellar season under head coach Sean Payton, winning 11 of their last 12 games. They boast one of the league’s best defenses and are poised for a deep playoff run. A victory over the Chiefs would help the Broncos maintain momentum and secure the AFC’s top seed.
Both teams have a lot at stake. The Broncos aim to solidify their playoff positioning, while the Chiefs hope to spoil their opponent’s plans and finish the season on a high note. The outcome will have significant implications for the AFC standings and the upcoming playoffs.
