Summary
- Broncos lead AFC West at 9-2 under new coach Sean Payton

- Week 11 matchup could shake up division race with 3 divisional games left

As of November 17th, 2025, the AFC West-leading Denver Broncos are set to face off against the Kansas City Chiefs in a pivotal divisional matchup. The Broncos, led by new head coach Sean Payton, have gotten off to a strong 9-2 start this season thanks to a stifling defense and clutch plays from quarterback Bo Nix.

Mahomes has an impressive 13-1 career record against the Broncos, and a win for Kansas City could help them rally to stay in the hunt for the division title. With just a few weeks remaining in the regular season, this Week 11 clash could have major implications on the AFC West race, as the Chiefs finish the year with three of their final four games against divisional opponents, including a Week 17 rematch against the Broncos.
A Denver victory would further solidify their position atop the division, while a Kansas City win would certainly make things more interesting down the stretch. Fans are in for an exciting AFC West showdown as these two rivals battle it out on the gridiron.
