For the Kansas City Chiefs, the second half of the season begins after a BYE week with a trip to Denver to face off against their division rivals, the Broncos.
The Chiefs plodded through the first half of the season, scoring only 10 offensive touchdowns in the first six games but allowing 18 offensive touchdowns. This trend gave the Chiefs a 1-5 record and had virtually every analyst writing off their season and had fans scouting a number one draft pick. With some resilience, Kansas City managed to end the first half of the season on a positive note by defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers at home and the Detroit Lions in London.
