The last time the Broncos beat the Chiefs, Peyton Manning was Denver’s quarterback. That’s right, the Broncos haven’t beaten Kansas City since Sept. 17, 2015. Since then, the Chiefs have won eight straight games against Denver.
“We have to change that,” Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay said Wednesday. “That’s not what we’re — this organization for a long time has been on top. We need to get back to that. If you want do that, you have to beat the Chiefs.
“Right now, the Chiefs have been on top of the division for a long time, so we need to find a way to win this game and start a streak for ourselves. That’s not the easiest thing, but it’s doable. At the end of the day this is NFL football and we just have to go out there and play our game.”
Denver wide receiver Courtland Sutton, who is having a Pro Bowl-level season, took Lindsay’s confidence a step further.
“We’ve struggled against the Chiefs the past eight times,” Sutton said. “If we go in and — not ‘if’ — when we go in and take care of business in Kansas City, it’s going to definitely shake up the division a little bit.
“People are going to start putting us in that conversation of a team that can win the division. Like you said, the Chiefs have been running it for a while and it’s upon us to start the way. Why not this next game?”
Sunday’s game will air on CBS at 11:00 a.m. MT (view the TV map here).
