Broncos vs. Chiefs Week 17 Live Score, Updates: Denver Seeks Key Win on Christmas

It's been a tale of two seasons for the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs, but that should have little impact on the intensity between the AFC West rivals.

The timing of this NFL Week 17 matchup falling on Christmas couldn't be more appropriate for quarterback Bo Nix and the Broncos (12-3), given what's at stake. Denver would position itself for the AFC West title and the No. 1 seed with a win, a Patriots loss, and losses or ties by the Chargers, Bills and Jaguars; the club would lock up the division with a win and Chargers loss or tie, or a tie and Chargers loss.

As for the Chiefs (6-9), playing another meaningless game without Patrick Mahomes (torn ACL) will surely feel like an extra helping of coal in their stockings. Still, Andy Reid's squad will have a chance at Arrowhead to ruin Denver's holiday like the Grinch, and send the Broncos back home feeling like Scrooges.

Follow along below for all the highlights from the Broncos vs. Chiefs on Christmas night:
