Kansas City leads Denver 74-58 in regular-season meetings and 74-59 overall, the Broncos owning the only postseason result between them, a 14-10 divisional win at Arrowhead after the 1997 season. Denver had shifted the recent balance, sweeping the Chiefs in 2025 for the first time since 2014 and taking four of five, and Week 1 was where that turn stopped.
