The Kansas City Chiefs officially secured the AFC’s No. 1 playoff seed after their Week 17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, and are headed West to Colorado to face the Denver Broncos in their regular season finale.
Sunday’s game will be meaningless for the Chiefs, as the No. 1 seed is already in hand, but the Week 18 game will have huge implications for the Broncos, who can clinch a Wild Card spot with a win over Kansas City.
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid is expected to rest his key starters on Sunday to give them ample rest ahead of the playoffs and give quarterback Carson Wentz an opportunity to take down their division rival.
