Then the Chiefs went out and completed the season sweep of the Broncos, rolling up 238 yards rushing and frustrating Denver’s defense with a series of big plays early in the game. Kansas City racked up 484 yards of total offense on 74 plays and held the football for 38:01 against the defending Super Bowl champions. Reid and company made it 10 straight wins vs. divisional foes and knocked off the Broncos for the third straight time. <p>Next Week: The club heads to the west coast for a rematch with the San Diego Chargers and still has a chance to not only capture the AFC West but lock down a bye-week for the upcoming playoffs. And the club hopes to end the season just like they began it. Back on opening weekend at Arrowhead Stadium, the Bolts owned a 17-point fourth-quarter lead and could not hold it against Reid’s team as Kansas City prevailed in overtime, 33-27. Now the Chiefs need a victory over the Chargers and an Oakland Raiders’ loss at Denver to win a division title for the first time since 2010.</p>. 11-4. Previous: . Kansas City Chiefs. 4. team
