The Chiefs dominated in their first meeting, winning 31-10 on "Monday Night Football" with a stunning 173-yard rushing performance from Kenneth Walker III.
The Broncos find themselves at 5-2 in second place in the AFC West heading into Week 8, as the offense continues to look for its footing under head coach Sean Payton. Since their season opener, the Broncos have won five of their last six games, including an overtime win against the Seahawks in Week 6 — the very team that just handed the Chiefs their first loss of the season.
The Chiefs will look to bounce back after scoring only three points against the Seahawks where Patrick Mahomes and Walker both looked to be without any answers. It marked their fewest points scored since Week 18 of the 2024 season (against the Broncos), where the Chiefs were shut out with Mahomes on the bench, resting up ahead of the playoffs.
