Are the Kansas City Chiefs back?
Much was made of a terrible start by the Chiefs, who entered the season having appeared in consecutive Super Bowls (winning in 2020). Nothing seemed to be going right for Patrick Mahomes and Co., and they entered November at just 3-4 and looking a tough bet to even make it back to the postseason, let alone the biggest game in the sport.
However, something clicked and the month of November brought back the Chiefs team that everyone in the NFL was expecting this season. Kansas City rang off four straight victories for a perfect month, and they have re-assumed their throne atop the AFC West with a 7-4 record so far.
One of the divisional foes the Chiefs had to leapfrog to get back into the No. 1 spot was the Denver Broncos. The Broncos are one of three teams directly beneath KC with a 6-5 record, meaning a win by Denver on "Sunday Night Football" in Kansas City would bring the Chiefs back down to the chasing pack's level, at least temporarily.
Such is the Chiefs' terrible start that even a four-game win streak only sees them slightly better than their divisional rivals.
That makes SNF's Broncos vs. Chiefs game a virtual must-win for both teams.
