The Denver Broncos travel to Arrowhead Stadium for their final matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs in 2018. We take a look at the game in detail here.

Here we go. This is going to be a season defining game for the Denver Broncos. A win will put the Broncos at .500 with an outside shot at winning the division. A loss could all but put an end to the division chances, perhaps even playoffs all together.

It all starts on a Sunday afternoon in Kansas City, Missouri. The daunting task? Defeating Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in Arrowhead. Even the thought of Arrowhead as a Broncos fan brings some bad memories. There are a few good ones.

With the current state of the Denver Broncos, this is a must win game. Win against the Chiefs and chances are looking good.

However, after the Broncos beat the Cardinals last Thursday, it has been nothing but distractions. Trade rumors, Chad Kelly’s arrest and release, and the whole situation with the Bill Bowlen lawsuit. It has been difficult for me to keep up this week.

Players and coaches have stated that the distractions have not impacted the team. But that can be a bit difficult to believe. We will know more once the team takes the field.

For now, the focus is on the Kansas City Chiefs. For a good amount of the last game, the Broncos were able to figure things out. Can they learn from their mistakes and complete the task at besting one of the best teams in the NFL?
