So far this season, the Broncos have gotten enough people into the action that 12 different players have contributed at least half of a sack to the Broncos’ league-leading total of 30 sacks, and 16 players have played at least 183 snaps, or 33 percent of the defense’s total.
The game was close throughout, but the Broncos failed to take the victory and allowed the Colts to score the winning field goal attempt to beat them 27-24.
The Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs have a great rivalry, both the teams and the fans, spurred in part by both geography and divisional play.
There are also rumors that the Denver Broncos could turn to Colin Kaepernick, who seems headed on his way out of San Francisco. They know this game could decide the season, too. Hopefully we can get back to balance.
The Denver Broncos will be looking to make a statement at home after suffering their first loss of the season last week.
Ronnie Hillman and C.J. Anderson has essentially shared the job, with Hillman being the more effective option. They’ve finished last in all but one season since 2008.
Chiefs coach Andy Reid isn’t breathing a sigh of relief over the loss of two of Denver’s Pro Bowlers.
In Week 2, Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders each caught eight passes, and Sanders scored two touchdowns. Manning was sacked once and threw two picks, including one in the fourth quarter that all but sealed the Broncos’ fate. Less certain is whether they’ll earn a first-round bye in the playoffs. The Denver Broncos’ week 10 matchup against the Chiefs presents a good chance for the Broncos’ offense to perform well. The Chiefs do have a shot in this game. The Denver Broncos have one of the best, most aggressive defensive lines in the National Football League and quarterback Peyton Manning hasn’t had to put up the insane offensive production he has don dating back in 2013. Denver doesn’t have a running game, but if the Chiefs don’t keep that trend alive then they don’t stand a chance.
The Denver Broncos’ flawless season came to a screeching halt in a loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
Cornerback Aqib Talib was suspended one game – he’s out.
Momentum swings in the NFL can happen game by game, but the lovely thing is that the way in which the league schedule is built, opportunity comes twice when it comes to in-division rivals. Bradley Roby, who has three career starts, is expected to fill in Talib’s vacant spot. His probable status for Sunday’s game was unchanged.
If Roethlisberger isn’t ready in time on Sunday when the Steelers (5-4) host the Browns (2-7), Jones will have to find a way to replicate his steady relief appearances over the course of an entire game. It’s a team that’s not at full strength, and the Chiefs must take advantage of that.
Despite a disappointing start to the season that featured a five-game losing streak, the Chiefs are miraculously just two games out of the wildcard race. Heading into the Chiefs game, for the first time all year, they are a question mark.
“It’s fun, it’s always fun”, cornerback Sean Smith said.

“I ended the game as the bad guy the first time around”, Roby said.
