KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Chiefs have owned the AFC West rival Denver Broncos in recent years, winning nine straight games in the series.
What will it take to make it 10 victories in a row? Our “4th & 1” podcast crew, analyst Nick Jacobs and host Tod Palmer, weighs in.
Running back Le’Veon Bell, who signed Oct. 15 with Kansas City, is expected to make his debut with the team Sunday at Empower Field at Mile High.
Right tackle Mitchell Schwartz will miss a start for the first time in his NFL career, while three other Chiefs — wide receiver Sammy Watkins and defensive ends Alex Okafor and Taco Charlton — have been ruled out as well, according to the Chiefs’ final injury report.
Schwartz has started 134 consecutive regular-season games, including 70 straight arriving in Kansas City.
But Jacobs and Palmer were impressed with how the offensive line performed during Monday’s win at Buffalo and optimistic the combination of Eric Fisher, Nick Allegretti, Daniel Kilgore, Andrew Wylie and Mike Remmers can get the job done again versus a tougher front seven in Denver.
