The Denver Broncos squared off against the Kansas City Chiefs in a primetime Christmas matchup. It was a fast-paced game that had football fans on the edge of their seats. It wasn’t pretty and a lot closer than it should have been. Nevertheless, the Broncos were able to topple the Chiefs at Arrowhead to secure win 13 on the season. Let’s get into some instant reactions from today’s game.

The Broncos’ offense controlled the clock and the pace of the game.

The Broncos didn’t look great on offense last week against the Jacksonville Jaguars. They desperately needed to start things...

The Denver Broncos play the ugliest football on Thursday nights and that belief was only reaffirmed in my mind after their ugly win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Christmas night.

The struggle was real all game despite the Chiefs offense doing very little when not gifted with a short field by turnovers, weak defensive pass interference calls, or long punt returns. The Broncos offense moved the ball, but couldn’t convert in the red zone well. That made the game close despite a lopsided game in total yardage difference and time of possession.

It doesn’t matter how you win in...

The Denver Broncos look to stay ahead of the pack and in control of the one seed with a win on Christmas night over the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs are without Patrick Mahomes and their backup Gardner Minshew. They will also be without two of their more explosive receiving threats in Rashee Rice and Tyquan Thorton. Denver has zero excuses to come out of this game with anything less than a win. Time to live up to expectations.

Kickoff is set for 6:15 p.m. Mile High time on Thursday, December 25, 2025 at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in...

As the regular season comes to a close, the Denver Broncos continue to be hampered by the injury bug. Just a month after signing center Luke Wattenberg to a four-year contract extension worth $48 million dollars, the Broncos are placing the veteran offensive lineman on injured reserve due to a shoulder injury according to insider Mike Klis.

The former Washington Huskies standout had started the last 28 games for the team and was improving greatly. While he has been a work in progress as a run blocker, the fourth-year veteran has ascended and become one of the NFL’s best pass...

A huge blow for the Denver Broncos this week with center Luke Wattenberg heading to injured reserve. The offense line has been a strong point all season long, but the depth is a bit thin at center. This will be a situation to track moving forward. Calvin Throckmorton was promoted to the active roster today along with Mercedes Lewis.

There are a lot of starters on the inactives list today, but if they can get by the Kansas City Chiefs with a win they will have a extra long week to get ready for their final regular season game of...

The Detroit Lions looked prime for be a Super Bowl contender early in the season, but the wheel came completely off this team after their Week 8 bye. From 5-2 before that week off to 3-5 after, they are on the cusp of playoff elimination in the NFC. The Minnesota Vikings, on the other hand, have won three strait and will be looking to play spoiler.

Kickoff is set for Thursday, December 25, 2025 at 2:30 p.m. Mile High time at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota and will air on NETFLIX.

My Prediction

According to FanDuel, the Lions...

In a contest between eliminated playoff contenders, the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Commanders are playing for who gets the better draft position. And by better, I mean the team that loses wins once April of next year comes around.

Kickoff is set for Thursday, December 25, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. Mile High time at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland and will air on NETFLIX.

My Prediction

According to FanDuel, the Cowboys are 8.5-point favorites over the Commanders. I never like two score spreads for a road team playing a division rival. Sure, the Cowboys should win by that much,...

In the words of Michael Scott from the TV show “The Office:” “Well, well, well, how the turntables …”

Over the last decade, the Denver Broncos have been the franchise already eliminated from the AFC Playoffs, and their season over, while the Kansas City Chiefs are playing for the AFC West title and the No. 1 seed in the AFC.

Now it’s a role reversal on Christmas night at Arrowhead Stadium.

How are Chiefs fans feeling heading into the penultimate game of the season?

Down to its third-string quarterback and numerous players now on season-ending IR, FanDuel Sportsbook has the...

Week 17 of the NFL regular season is upon us. Only two more weeks of regular season picks are left. My Week 16 picks were not optimal. I picked just 9 of 16 games correctly. Through fifteen weeks I’m now sitting at 160-80 with predictions. Let’s see if I can do better than I did last week.

Christmas Day (Early Game) —Dallas Cowboys at Washington Commanders

Winner: Cowboys

Had events played out differently in the regular season, this game could have been garnered huge playoff implications. Unfortunately, these NFC East rivals are both eliminated from playoff contention. I think the...

Good morning, Broncos Country. On behalf of Mile High Report, I’d like to wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season filled with family, friends, joy, and happiness as we approach the New Year.

Today, the Denver Broncos take on the Kansas City Chiefs for their Week 17 gridiron matchup. It’s a must-win game for the Broncos who are vying for their first AFC West title in a decade and the conference’s #1 playoff seed. In order to accomplish that, they will have to play much better than they...

Well, looks like the Denver Broncos are playing it safe across the board on a short week with five players out, including center Luke Wattenberg. We kind of assumed Pat Bryant and Dre Greenlaw would be out due to the short turnaround, but with little to now news around Wattenberg it was hard to ascertain the severity of the shoulder injury. That will be something to monitor closely next week.

The good news is Justin Strnad appears to be ready to go and is available in a timely way with Greenlaw now officially ruled out. Having Ben Powers back fully...

Merry Christmas Eve, Ultimate Fans! I come bearing gifts as rupnin38 is back to get the team — and us — “into the right head space” to beat a very beatable Chiefs team before the all-important Week 18 game that could decide the AFC West as well as the No. 1 seed overall.

But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Right now the Broncos have a a Mahomes-less Chiefs team to beat, but they have to do it at Arrowhead, so it may not be as easy as we hope. Either way, this squad needs a bounce-back game and our...
