Game notes

• The Broncos come into Sunday’s game with a 35-22 record all-time against the Chiefs in Denver, though they trail in the overall matchup 54-60.

• With a win, Denver will own a .500 record in division for the 20th time in the past 22 seasons (37-of-48 all-time).

• Broncos owner Pat Bowlen can pass former Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis for fifth-most regular season wins and all-time victories with a Denver win over Kansas City.

• Running back C.J. Anderson needs 54 yards to surpass the 1,000-yard mark in a single season for the first time in his career. He’d be the first Broncos player to do so since Knowshon Moreno (1,038) in 2013.

• With 2.5 sacks, Von Miller would move into the NFL’s top 50 all-time.

• Chiefs rookie Patrick Mahomes will make his regular season debut at quarterback.

• The Broncos defense has surrendered 950 receiving yards to tight ends in 2017, the most in the NFL, while Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has the second-most receiving yards (1,038) at the position this season.

• Denver’s defense has surrendered the least amount of yards from scrimmage per game (294.7) in the NFL heading into Sunday’s game.
