Game notes

» Of the 117 meetings between the teams, the Denver Broncos own a 54-63 record over the Kansas City Chiefs, including a 35-24 mark at home.

» However, the Chiefs have won seven consecutive games against the Broncos dating back to September 2015.

» Denver, which hasn’t allowed a defensive touchdown in the past two games, welcomes in Kansas City, which ranks fifth in the NFL in scoring offense.

» The Broncos are 13-11 all-time when playing on Thursday, including an 8-4 mark on “Thursday Night Football”

» Cornerback Chris Harris Jr. needs just one interception to join Mike Harden as the only players in Denver history with multiple picks in eight consecutive seasons.

» Running back Phillip Lindsay needs 178 yards from scrimmage to become the fourth Broncos player to reach the 2,000 scrimmage yards mark in 22 games.

» Linebacker Von Miller needs a half-sack to pass Charles Haley, Cameron Wake and William Fuller for sole possession of 30th place on the NFL’s all-time list.

» With 2.5 sacks, Miller can leapfrog Jim Jeffcoat for 29th place all time.

» Wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders needs one reception to reach 400 with Denver.
