A series of unfortunate injuries to inside linebackers has forced the Broncos to dig deeper into their roster, and they've found a gem in Jonas Griffith, a small-school All-American at Indiana State who spent last season in practice squads. from the Colts and 49ers, who traded him to Denver on Aug. 31.

Griffith leads the Broncos with 33 tackles in his three starts over the past three weeks. Very good numbers for this boy despite not having played the entire season.

Lucas Niang and Clyde Edwards-Helaire are out for Saturday’s game vs. Broncos.

Inactive Denver Broncos Players for Today's Game:

The Kansas City Chiefs lost first place in the AFC with their last-second loss at Cincinnati last week. Then they'll have to beat the already eliminated Broncos, and wait for the Titans to lose to Houston, for Kansas City to be the No. 1 seed for the third time in four years.

Although the Chiefs have dominated the Broncos in recent years with 12 straight wins over them in the AFC West, Mahomes doesn't feature the usual large numbers of him against Vic Fangio's defenses.

They beat the Broncos 22-9 a month ago despite Mahomes completing just 15 of 29 passes for 184 yards, no touchdowns and one interception. While Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill were limited to a combined 49-yard reception that day. It was a lot like last season's game at Arrowhead Stadium, when the Chiefs trailed Denver on the scoreboard until late in the third quarter and finally pulled off a dramatic 22-16.

It may be Saturday, but it's GAMEDAY! 🔥 pic.twitter.com/TwFElaG84z

The Denver Broncos suffer a fifth straight season of losses and a sixth straight season without a playoff spot, plus they won't have star rookie Patrick Surtain II to help contain the Chiefs' high-octane offense as he is out of business with two tense calves.

Drew Lock will make his third straight start in place of Teddy Bridgewater, who suffered a concussion against the Cincinnati Bengals on Dec. 19.

It's GAMEDAY in #BroncosCountry!

The Denver Broncos were completely dismantled after a 34-13 beating at the hands of the Los Angeles Chargers last Sunday. Denver has lost four of its last five games, was eliminated from playoff contention and is assured of its fifth consecutive losing season. The Broncos lost quarterback Teddy Bridgewater for the second straight week, in addition to five defensive starters.

Drew Lock was 18 of 25 for 245 yards and a touchdown. Noah Fant had six receptions for 92 yards, including a 5-yard touchdown midway through the fourth quarter. Denver went twice on fourth-and-goal within the Los Angeles 5-yard line, but fell short. Trailing 10-0 in the second quarter, the Broncos advanced to the Chargers' 2-yard line. Lock passed his hand to Mike Boone, who then passed the ball to Kendall Hinton. They came up short and wouldn't get any closer for the rest of the match in a pitiful performance.

Empower Field at Mile High is an American football stadium in Denver, Colorado. The main tenant is the Denver Broncos of the NFL. It opened in 2001 to replace the original Broncos home, the old Mile High Stadium. The site was previously the home of the Denver Outlaws lacrosse team and the Colorado Rapids football team. It has also hosted countless concerts and football matches.

The stadium is nicknamed Mile High not only because of its predecessor, but also because of the city's elevation of 1 mile or 5,280 feet (1,610 m) above sea level. Given the difficulty of competing at height, as well as the notoriously loud fans, the Broncos are known to have one of the best home field advantages in the NFL. Currently the stadium has capacity for 76,125 people.
