The Kansas City Chiefs haven’t had a great 2025 NFL season so far, but Patrick Mahomes has delivered a strong warning to the Broncos and Chargers about what’s coming next.

While taking the week off is always welcome, it usually makes for a weird weekend of football-watching. Instead of rooting directly for a team from Denver, it’s suddenly all about rooting against a whole slew of teams.

Broncos are rolling and team gives placekicker Wil Lutz a 3-year contract extension after his 5-for-5 game vs. Chiefs in Week 11

Go Chiefs! And take the Colts and the Chargers down with you. The Broncos’ worst enemy can become their best friend Sunday and Dec. 14. And the Broncos could tackle the Patriots at Mile High for the AFC Championship as they did in the Super Bowl 50 season.

There are 10-year-olds who have never seen the Broncos win an AFC West title. It is like growing up without throwing a snowball, scaling a 14er or making fun of the name of a craft beer. Life will soon return to the old normal for three decades when Denver reaches the Super Bowl with regularity.

Bo Nix sends a strong message and expresses full confidence in the Broncos’ young trio of running backs after J.K. Dobbins’ injury.

One TV personality suggested the Kansas City Chiefs make a decision on star tight end Travis Kelce amid a rough season.

The Chargers once again travel to a hostile stadium, with the Denver Broncos currently 9-2 and a 6-0 record at home. Similarly to the Chiefs, the Chargers have already beaten the Broncos early in the season, but beating a team twice is extremely difficult.

Here are five takeaways on the Chargers at the bye. The Chargers enter the bye week with an offensive EPA per play of 0.010, according to Pro Football Focus, which ranks tied for 13th in the league.
