The Kansas City Chiefs are the lone unbeaten team in the NFL at 8-0. If Kansas City beats the Denver Broncos on Sunday, it sets up an important Week 11 showdown against the Buffalo Bills.
Speaking of Buffalo, the Bills hold a commanding four-game lead in the AFC East. As long as Buffalo doesn’t collapse, they will win the division and secure at least one home game in the postseason.
Week 10 starts with a crucial Thursday Night Football matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals. At 4-5, the Bengals’ margin of error is shrinking. A win on Thursday will dramatically improve their playoff chances.
