Both teams are coming off of losses and enter this division matchup looking for key victories as they meet each other for the second time in three weeks. Both teams hope to bounce back as they ride out seasons full of ups-and-downs.
"I know, look, everybody's going to ride that roller coaster," Broncos interim coach Jack Del Rio said via ESPN. "Last week we're the greatest, this week not so good. We'll just keep working at it."
Denver is coming off of a loss to the New England Patriots last week when the team blew a 24-point lead and the Chiefs have lost their first two games of the season in back-to-back fashion--with their first coming at the hands of the Broncos two weeks ago.
Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning has completed a league-high 305 completions on 445 attempts for a completion percentage of 68.5% for 3,722 yards with an NFL-best 36 touchdowns and seven picks. Manning is within two passing touchdowns of breaking his franchise record of 37.
Still, last week wasn't so enjoyable for the quarterback, whose cold weather performances remain questionable.
"Hated the way that ended, not getting a chance to get our hands on the ball," Manning said of the 34-31 loss at New England last week in overtime, according to ESPN. "We helped them with some short fields. It's hard to do that to our defense."
Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith is 235-for-398 (59.0%) for 2,443 yards with 14 touchdowns and five interceptions this season and the Chiefs have turned the ball over a league-low 11 times while notching an NFL-best 24 takeaways.
For the Broncos, Julius Thomas--who is tied for the team lead with Demaryius Thomas with 10 touchdown receptions--remains sidelined with a knee injury while running back Knowshon Moreno is expected to play despite being banged up.
Moreno has rushed for 824 yards on 187 carries for nine scores.
It'll be a key division matchup when the Broncos and Chiefs faceoff for the second time in three weeks today in Kansas City.
