The Kansas City Chiefs play the Houston Texans on Sunday at noon CT at Arrowhead Stadium.
While your attention should be focused on the Chiefs for the early-afternoon slate of games, there will be opportunities to watch a few important games throughout the day. Several of these games will carry some interesting storylines relevant to the Chiefs. You’ll want to look at the box scores or watch the RedZone Channel on your Fubo.tv account (try it for free).
Here are the top games for Chiefs fans to keep an eye on in Week 6:
Titans at Broncos – 3:25 p.m. CT
Looking ahead, the Chiefs get back on the road in Week 7 to face the Denver Broncos on a short week. The Broncos got their first win of the season against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 5. If they defeat the Tennessee Titans this week they’ll be building some positive momentum.
Both teams have strong running games, underperforming quarterbacks and ailing defenses. What I want to see in this game is whether the Titans can slow down the Broncos rushing attack. The Chiefs have obviously struggled to stop the run this season, so insight on how to slow that facet of the Broncos offense down will be important.

Lions at Packers – Monday, 7:15 p.m. CT
The Chiefs will play the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night in Week 8. The Packers are currently the No. 1 team in the NFC North. We saw how potent another NFC North team, the Lions, were earlier this season, and the rivals will face each other for the first time in Week 6.
The thing I’m looking at here is Packers QB Aaron Rodgers. He has been limited all week in practice with a knee injury. This is set to be a physical game that could have implications on the division. How Rodgers handles this game will be important as Green Bay will face the Raiders in Week 7 before heading to Kansas City.

Eagles at Vikings – noon CT
The Chiefs will face back-to-back NFC North opponents at Arrowhead Stadium in weeks 8-9; the Vikings will be the second of the two teams. Minnesota will have a long week to prepare for the Chiefs, coming off a Thursday game the week prior.
RB Dalvin Cook is the No. 2 rusher in the NFL right now, and with the struggles in run defense for the Chiefs, that’s a scary thought. Hopefully, the Eagles can provide a hint in the blueprint to slowing down Cook.

Steelers at Chargers – 7:25 p.m. CT
The Chiefs’ first game against the Chargers is a long way off. Still, Los Angeles was favored by many ahead of the season to unseat Kansas City in the AFC West. Now they’re struggling to stay afloat after losing to the last-place Denver Broncos.
The Pittsburgh Steelers lost in overtime in Week 5 but had a good showing against the Baltimore Ravens. I expect this game to be a close one with the Chargers continuing to struggle amid injuries and miscues.
