Broncos vs. Chiefs injury report and starting lineup - NFL Week 13 Sunday Night Football

Arrowhead Stadium will host a key AFC West divisional battle on Sunday Night Football as the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Denver Broncos.

The Broncos have turned their season around with three wins in their last four games. Last week, they were particularly impressive, holding the electric Los Angeles Chargers offense to just 13 points. While quarterbacks Teddy Bridgewater and Drew Lock combined for just 155 yards, Denver's running backs Melvin Gordon and Javonte Williams rushed for 137 yards to get the offense going.

After their offensive explosion in Week 10, the Chiefs ground out a 19-9 win in Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys. Kansas City's defense held quarterback Dak Prescott to just 216 yards and picked him off twice in a tough battle at home.

The Chiefs are 7-4 while the Broncos are 6-5. A victory for Denver would see them go top of the AFC West standings. Check out the injury report and starting lineups for both teams ahead of this crucial divisional battle.
