The Kansas City Chiefs will travel to face the Denver Broncos in their regular season finale.
Denver will be trying to lock up a playoff spot for the first time since Peyton Manning was there.
Ahead of the AFC West matchup, Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo spoke about trying to stop Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix.
“I’m really impressed. … This might sound shocking, but when he tucks it and runs, I get visions of Josh Allen,” Spagnuolo said, via Sports Radio 810 WHB.

Nix has completed 65.1 percent of his passes and by the end of the game could have more than 30 total touchdowns in his rookie season.
What he and head coach Sean Payton have done together has been exceptional.
However, Kansas City has a chance to spoil Denver’s playoff hopes if it can slow them down on defense.
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has decided to start Carson Wentz at quarterback as his team has already secured the No. 1 seed in the AFC.
So, Denver won’t have to worry about having to control Patrick Mahomes, but the offense, led by Nix, still has to show up.
This is arguably the organization’s biggest game since they won the Super Bowl to end the 2015 season.
The Broncos will have all of the pressure on them, which is why Spagnuolo’s defense could have a great chance to spoil their playoff hopes.
