Kansas City gets the primetime treatment this week on "Sunday Night Football" as the Chiefs go for seven wins in a row on their quest to win consecutive Super Bowls.
The Chiefs (10-1) haven't lost since Week 5 against Las Vegas and just easily beat on one of the NFC's top contenders in Tampa Bay, although the 27-24 score may suggest otherwise. Patrick Mahomes and Tyreek Hill put together one of the most impressive performances of the season as Mahomes had his second 400-yard game of the season, 269 of which went by way of Hill as the speedy receiver scored three touchdowns.

While the Chiefs soared through the air in Week 12, Denver struggled to get off the ground. The Broncos (4-7) were forced to start practice-squad receiver Kendall Hinton at quarterback after their entire quarterback room was made unavailable due to COVID-19 protocols. Hinton completed just one pass as New Orleans went on to easily win and sent Denver to its third loss in four games. Starter Drew Lock, backup Brett Rypien, and practice-squadder Blake Bortles will all be available for this game.
Below is everything to know about this week's "Sunday Night Football" game between the Chiefs and Broncos in Week 13.
