Denver, CO — The Denver Broncos took a significant step towards achieving their season goals with a 20-13 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday night. The victory, their first in Kansas City since 2015, has left the team on the brink of their first AFC West title since 2015. If the Los Angeles Chargers lose to the Houston Texans on Saturday, the Broncos will secure the division crown. Coach Sean Payton downplayed the prospect of clinching the title from the comfort of their own home, saying, "It will be relaxing, it will be nice." However, the team still has work to do as they look to clinch the AFC's No. 1 seed and first-round playoff bye. A win over the Chargers at home would seal the deal, but a slip-up would send the Broncos tumbling to the fifth spot in the AFC playoff field. Rookie RB RJ Harvey's 1-yard touchdown pass with 1:45 left proved to be the difference-maker in the game. The Broncos' win was their first at Arrowhead Stadium since 2015, but Payton chose not to dwell on that fact, saying, "You can't fight those other demons.
