"For us, it's about the next-game mentality,” quarterback Bo Nix said. “We know it's a big one. That goes without being said."
The Denver Broncos (5-2) host the Kansas City Chiefs (5-1) in a key Week 8 AFC West matchup at Empower Field at Mile High. A victory would move Denver into first place in the division and mark their fourth consecutive win. Head Coach Sean Payton and quarterback Bo Nix stressed the importance of a granular approach as they seek to avenge a Week 1 loss to Kansas City.
A primary focus for Denver's defense, led by coordinator Vance Joseph, is containing Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker, who totaled 191 scrimmage yards against them earlier this season. The Broncos look to leverage their dominant home-field record, having won 11 of their last 12 regular-season home games and their last two home matchups against Patrick Mahomes.
