This is a huge game for both teams with the Broncos and Chiefs each 7-3 in the AFC West standings. Perhaps divisional leader, 8-2 Oakland, will have lost to the Carolina Panthers earlier on Sunday.
In any event, the Broncos are the healthiest they’ve been in 10 weeks, per head coach Gary Kubiak. The CBS Denver injury report states only long-snapper Casey Kreiter is out.
The Broncos have replaced him with former Chiefs long-snapper Thomas Gafford. To make room, they released nose tackle Darius Kilgo.
This was a wise move as long-snapping is so essential to an NFL team and games can change if anything goes wrong on special teams.
