- LAST TIME IN KANSAS CITY: Broncos 17, Chiefs 9; Nov. 25, 2012. The Chiefs were the worst team the Broncos faced during their 10-game winning streak, en route to a 2-14 finish. But Kansas City was able to control the tempo early, running on eight of their first 10 plays in driving to a field goal. The Chiefs averaged 4.8 yards per carry and with the aid of a few dropped passes by Broncos receivers, kept the game close. But a 30-yard Peyton Manning-to-Demaryius Thomas touchdown pass in the third quarter put the Broncos up for good.
