KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Chiefs return to Arrowhead Stadium and the national spotlight with a Sunday Night Football showdown against the Denver Broncos, which can be seen at 7 p.m. on 41 Action News.
Kansas City, 10-1, has won 10 straight against the division rival Broncos, who limp to town 4-7 overall.
The Chiefs can clinch a playoff berth with a win.
Losses by Las Vegas, Baltimore and Indianapolis would put Kansas City in the playoffs even with a loss.

There's even a scenario in which coach Andy Reid's squad can win a record fifth straight AFC West championship, though it involves the winless New York Jets tying or upsetting the Raiders.
While the division title celebration may have to wait another week. the Chiefs are well positioned to make a run at another Super Bowl title entering Week 13 of the Run It Back Tour.
Cornerback Bashaud Breeland missed practice for the second straight day Thursday with an undisclosed illness.
Running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) and linebacker Dorian O'Daniel (ankle) also sat out Thursday's practice.

But not all the news was bad on the injury front. Backup tackle Martinas Rankin (knee) and defensive end Tanoh Kpassagnon (hip) were full participants Thursday after being limited on Wednesday.
