Chiefs host Broncos: Week 17 news, injury updates and previews

Week 17 of the 2025 NFL season will begin on Christmas Day — and the latest of Thursday’s three games will match up the (6-9) Kansas City Chiefs and the (12-3) Denver Broncos on GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. The last home game of the Chiefs’ season is scheduled to kick off at 7:15 p.m. Arrowhead Time on Amazon Prime Video.

What was once a highly-anticipated battle will now feature Kansas City stumbling into the short week following four consecutive losses with third-string quarterback Chris Oladokun. He will make his first career start after gaining some experience in the 26-9 loss to the Tennessee Titans in Week 16.

Denver did its part to make this game worthy of the primetime slot. The Broncos are leading the AFC West, although last week’s loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars left the door open for the Los Angeles Chargers to come back, regardless of the result on Christmas night.
