FINAL: Chiefs plow over Broncos 23-3 at snowy Arrowhead

FINAL | Call it the snow game.

Or you could call it the Patrick Mahomes game. Or the Travis Kelce game. Or the Harrison Butker game. Or the Tyreek Hill game.

But any way you call it, the Kansas City Chiefs dominated the Denver Broncos Sunday, 23-3 at a snowy Arrowhead Stadium.

The Chiefs moved to 10-4 on the season and remained in contention for a first-round bye as they chase the New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens.

The Chiefs will travel to Chicago to take on the Bears next Sunday before finishing the regular season at home against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Patrick Mahomes threw for 340 yards and two touchdowns.

Tyreek Hill had both touchdown receptions while Travis Kelce had 11 catches for 142 yards, becoming the first NFL tight end with four consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons.

Broncos quarterback Drew Lock, who grew up in the Kansas City suburb of Lee's Summit, was just 18 of 40 for 208 yards with an interception in the end zone.

It was the Broncos' ninth consecutive loss to their longtime division rival.

EARLIER | The Kansas City Chiefs are playoff-bound after last week’s win at New England, but the push to possibly improve their postseason seeding starts at noon Sunday against AFC West rival Denver at Arrowhead Stadium.

The Broncos (5-8) have had a difficult debut season under new coach Vic Fangio, but the team has gone 2-0 since inserting Lee’s Summit and University of Missouri graduate Drew Lock into the starting lineup at quarterback.

Lock, a second-round pick last spring, hopes to keep up that momentum, which includes earning the NFL Rookie of the Week honor for his performance in a victory at Houston.

Despite his hot start, Kansas City won’t offer any quarter to the hometown kid on Sunday afternoon.

Meanwhile, concern about Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ injured hand didn’t last long.

Coach Andy Reid announced Monday that x-rays were negative on the reigning NFL MVP’s throwing hand.

Obviously, that’s good news for KC, which has won four straight AFC West titles and hopes to continue its dominance in the division against Denver.

We won't talk about what happened in the last Chiefs-Broncos meeting, but suffice it to say we're glad the QB sneak appears to have been removed from Reid's playbook.

The injury report is less rosy for the Chiefs’ secondary, which will be without cornerbacks Morris Claiborne (shoulder) and Rashad Fenton (hamstring) once again.

Defensive end Frank Clark (illness/shoulder) and running back Damien Williams (ribs) are officially listed as questionable for the game.

Clark only practiced Friday, but he was a full participant after seeing a specialist for a stomach issue.

Williams was limited Wednesday and Thursday then missed Friday’s practice with illness, which isn’t a great sign for his availability.
