In September 2015, at Arrowhead Stadium, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Denver Broncos had a challenging and close game. Just a few minutes before the wrap-up, Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall knocked the ball out of the hands of the Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles. As a result, cornerback Bradley Roby recovered the ball for a 21-yard touchdown. And Denver pulled off an exciting matchup 31-24 win for their 15th straight win in the AFC West division.

That was the day back then, and this is a different day today. The Chiefs and Broncos rivalry has remained the same, but the results have changed over the years. The Broncos are 0-16 against Kansas City in the league since that night, and now they are trying to break this Red team’s winning streak. But will they be able to? Well, coach Andy Reid has some enigmatic message for Russell Wilson’s team.

In a recent press conference, Andy Reid updated the media and fans about what’s going on in his roster and the injury report for the players. During this interview, he was asked how he felt about the upcoming game and how well he was prepared for Sunday. Reid replied, praising the Broncos team, “We know they’re a good football team.

The 65-year-old head coach added, “Seems like every time we play them, it’s a knockdown drag out, so I wouldn’t expect anything less.” He said the Chiefs “have had a good week of practice” in a little cold weather. On the one hand, the Chiefs seem well-prepared to hoist the victory at Colorado and defeat the Broncos again in the season after a 19-8 win on Thursday, October 12.

On the other hand, Russell Wilson put up a calm face amid backlashes and aims to defeat the Chiefs on their home turf after seven years and eight games. He will try to bring back the Broncos’ all-time winning streak over the Chiefs starting tomorrow. The streak began on October 24, 1976, with a 35-26 win and lasted until October 28, 1979.

Just a couple of days ago, in a media conference, Russell Wilson revealed that he plans to pull off the game this time. He said he and his team are “ready to rock and roll” on Sunday against the Chiefs. The 34-year-old quarterback also mentioned that they are focusing on practice and executing plays and will be “playing better and cleaner” this time. However, will Wilson succeed in his plans?

Well, if we observe the first meeting between the two quarterbacks, Wilson, while with the Seattle Seahawks, emerged triumphant over Patrick Mahomes. In their second most recent meetup, Mahomes defeated Wilson, who is now with the Broncos. This means Wilson has somewhat lost his previous aura, and second, Denver isn’t suiting him well. Furthermore, the Chiefs have met the Broncos 127 times (including one postseason game) in the history of the NFL, and the Chiefs have an advantage of 72-55 over Denver. Hence, this time, to win over the Red Sea, the Orange Crush and Wilson need to reignite that spark within him and work on his defensive end.

The Broncos face a challenging situation as they have never defeated Patrick Mahomes, and the Chiefs are leading the AFC West, while the Broncos are at the bottom of the division. Anyway, the matchup on Sunday, October 29, will determine who is continuing the winning streak and who is ending it.
