We now know that the (15-1) Kansas City Chiefs\u2019 final regular season game of the 2024 season will be played against the (9-7) Denver Broncos at Empower Field. The game will be carried on CBS \u2014 locally on KCTV\/5 \u2014 with kickoff set for 3:25 p.m. Arrowhead Time.<\/p>\n<p id=\"egwdmT\">Kansas City will have nothing riding on its game in Denver. The team has already clinched the AFC\u2019s No. 1 seed, giving it a first-round bye and homefield advantage throughout the playoffs. The Broncos, though, can clinch the AFC\u2019s last playoff berth with a win.<\/p>\n<p id=\"xcxuQk\">But if the Chiefs win, three additional scenarios will open.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"hDuSxG\">If the Bengals defeat the Steelers on Saturday (and the Jets beat the Dolphins during Sunday\u2019s late games), Cincinnati will make the playoffs.<\/li>\n<li id=\"3GYwQn\">Should the Dolphins beat the Jets, Miami will sneak in.<\/li>\n<li id=\"PLwOg5\">If the Bengals and Dolphins <em>both <\/em>lose, Denver will <em>still<\/em> get the last playoff berth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"XYSt0E\">Here\u2019s the complete Week 18 schedule.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Faepu8\"><strong>Saturday<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"WtWDr3\">(3-13) Cleveland Browns at (11-5) Baltimore Ravens 3:30 p.m. (ESPN\/ABC-KMBC\/9)<\/li>\n<li id=\"n2ETPV\">(8-8) Cincinnati Bengals at (10-6) Pittsburgh Steelers 7 p.m. (ESPN\/ABC-KMBC\/9)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"mBDl9x\"><strong>Sunday early<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"mSME1x\">(13-3) Buffalo Bills at (3-13) New England Patriots (CBS)<\/li>\n<li id=\"uq6OZg\">(9-7) Houston Texans at (3-13) Tennessee Titans (CBS)<\/li>\n<li id=\"pWgSsn\">(5-11) New Orleans Saints at (9-7) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (FOX)<\/li>\n<li id=\"FrSq8P\">(3-13) New York Giants at (13-3) Philadelphia Eagles (CBS)<\/li>\n<li id=\"RJEmci\">(4-12) Carolina Panthers at (8-8) Atlanta Falcons (CBS)<\/li>\n<li id=\"K1lVHk\">(4-12) Chicago Bears at (11-5) Green Bay Packers (FOX)<\/li>\n<li id=\"YfcUGS\">(11-5) Washington Commanders at (7-9) Dallas Cowboys (FOX)<\/li>\n<li id=\"XnrPn8\">(7-9) Jacksonville Jaguars at (4-12) Indianapolis Colts (FOX)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"im0CIl\"><strong>Sunday late<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"58gDrr\">(15-1) Kansas City Chiefs at (9-7) Denver Broncos (CBS-KCTV\/5)<\/li>\n<li id=\"8N5iQt\">(10-6) Los Angeles Chargers at (4-12) Las Vegas Raiders (CBS)<\/li>\n<li id=\"qFn97B\">(9-7) Seattle Seahawks at (10-6) Los Angeles Rams (FOX)<\/li>\n<li id=\"zucepQ\">(6-8) San Francisco 49ers at (7-9) Arizona Cardinals (FOX)<\/li>\n<li id=\"cWC3P2\">(8-8) Miami Dolphins at (4-12) New York Jets (FOX)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"9POflL\"><strong>Sunday Night Football<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"6KRDgt\">(14-2) Minnesota Vikings at (13-2) Detroit Lions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The league has announced when Kansas City\u2019s final regular-season game will be played.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":22288,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22284","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
