Broncos rush defense rising with Chiefs’ Kareem Hunt on deck

Running back Kareem Hunt hardly expected to the play the last time Kansas City traveled to Denver, in Week 17 last year with a Wild Card berth in check, but he did receive one first-quarter carry in a tight Chiefs victory to close a dreadful Broncos season.

Hunt ran 35 yards, cementing himself as the NFL’s rushing champion (1,327), and then into the Mile High end zone.

“He’s a guy that can run between and outside the tackles, can catch the ball, get to the sideline and turn up-field before your guy — and everything else,” defensive end Adam Gotsis said.
