While the Chiefs are certainly worthy of a primetime game (9-2), the Broncos certainly are not (3-8), hence the reason that the Dolphins-Chargers game has been moved to that spot.
The Broncos have severely underwhelmed all of their preseason aspirations and firmly sit at the bottom of the AFC West.
Sunday Night Football Matchup Preview
Since the game between the Chiefs and the Broncos has been flexed and will no longer be played next Sunday night, let’s take a look at the two teams that are playing.
The Chargers currently have a 6-5 record and are in second place in the AFC West.
The Dolphins are sitting atop the AFC East, tied with the Buffalo Bills at an 8-3 record.
This is slated to be a great matchup between two of the league’s young quarterbacks- Justin Herbert and Tua Tagovailoa, who have both improved their games immensely.
Tua is becoming more confident in throwing to his talented receiving core, and Herbert has persevered this season, even though he has been without many of his top receiving weapons due to injuries.
The Dolphins are playing the San Francisco 49ers this week, and the Chargers are playing the Las Vegas Raiders.
Will both teams continue their winning streaks going into next Sunday night?
