The Chiefs (10-1) will host the Broncos (4-7) in a lopsided AFC West matchup. Denver is coming off a game where it was forced to play promoted practice squad receiver Kendall Hinton at quarterback, while Mahomes and Hill just had historic days in a win over Tom Brady and the Buccaneers. The Broncos are expected to have their main quarterback options back, but they’re still heavy underdogs against Mahomes and Andy Reid.

Hill had more than 200 receiving yards in the first quarter of Kansas City’s win in Tampa, and he finished with 13 catches for 269 yards and three touchdowns. One of those TDs ended with a backflip into the end zone. Mahomes threw for 432 yards himself, and the Chiefs are flying high into the stretch run of the regular season.
Below is more about the matchup, plus everything to know about how to watch “Sunday Night Football.”
Who plays on ‘Sunday Night Football’ tonight?
Matchup: Denver Broncos at Kansas City Chiefs Location: Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri
These teams met earlier in the year in Denver, and the Chiefs were blowout winners, 43-16. Mahomes didn’t need to do much that day, throwing for only 200 yards and one score. The Chiefs scored touchdowns both on an interception return and a kickoff return.
If Drew Lock is indeed back, he’ll be looking to cut down on a disturbing turnover trend that’s seen him throw an interception in six-straight games. Giving the ball to Mahomes in positive positions will not work out well for the Broncos.
