Denver must extend its drives. Fortunately, Kansas City's defense allows opponents to convert 41.9% of their third downs.

The Denver Broncos host the Kansas City Chiefs at Empower Field at Mile High for an AFC West Week 8 showdown. Both teams enter the matchup having won four of their last five games. Denver relies on a defense allowing just 20.1 points per contest to compensate for an offense ranking 30th in net yards, while Kansas City brings an offense averaging 380.5 yards alongside a defense allowing 17.2 points per game.
Quarterback Bo Nix leads the Broncos against a Chiefs defense that allows touchdowns on just 26.7% of opponents' red-zone trips. Meanwhile, Kansas City leans on AFC-leading rusher Kenneth Walker III and quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Injury concerns surround key contributors, including Denver receiver Jaylen Waddle and Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce.
