The Kansas City Chiefs head to the Mile High City on a two-game losing streak, but a bit of elevation might be exactly what this team needs to get back on track.

The Chiefs have won in each of their last four trips to Denver, with each victory coming by at least a field goal. In all of those games, the Chiefs put up at least 24 points, but now must do it against a unit that is seventh in the league in fewest points per game allowed. Kansas City has been a pass-heavy team this season, throwing on 66 percent of its plays. This has led to the Chiefs amassing 339.3 passing yards per game, most in the NFL and 21.5 yards per game more than the No. 2 Falcons.

Though this style has not yielded great dividends for the Chiefs early in games, it has allowed them to take over in the second quarter, when they score a league-high 12.8 points on average. KC allows an average of 5.8 points in the second quarter. By comparison, the Broncos generate an average of only 4.3 points in the second quarter, the same as they allow.

Despite having a solid defense, Denver has turned the ball over two more times than its opponents this season, while the Chiefs have generated three more turnovers than their foes.

This AFC West clash will be strength on strength as the Broncos rank sixth in the league in fewest yards per pass attempt allowed on defense. But this is nothing new for both the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes, who has won in both of his trips to Denver.

The play: Chiefs, -3.
