Travis Kelce had nothing but love for second-year quarterback Bo Nix after the Denver Broncos beat the Kansas City Chiefs 20-13 on Sunday.
Elsewhere on the injury front, defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers played just 11 snaps last week before exiting the game with hip flexor discomfort. JFM is expected to be ready for Week 18, according to KUSA-TV's Mike Klis. Meanwhile, outside linebacker Nik Bonitto is wearing a large brace on his right arm, but playing through it.
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert will not play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the 13-3 Denver Broncos, head coach Jim Harbaugh announced.
The Broncos are AFC West champions and are going to host at least one game in the playoffs. If they have the No. 1 seed, any team that beats them will have to do so at Empower Field at Mile High, a place the Broncos have lost just once since last October.
Nix embraced Kelce and expressed gratitude for the message. "I appreciate it, man," said Nix to Kelce. Kelce has a documented respect for Nix dating back to 2024, when Nix and the Broncos very nearly stole a win in Arrowhead, if not for a blocked field goal.
With the Los Angeles Chargers locked into a playoff spot and playing for nothing but seeding in their regular-season finale against the Denver Broncos, quarterback Justin Herbert will not take the field.
Sean Payton didn't mark team's division title outside of distributing "ugly" shirts and hats. The No. 1 seed would bring bigger celebration.
In a game with high stakes for the Denver Broncos on Sunday, things should be a little easier now that they are learning they won't face the Chargers franchise quarterback.
Following what could be his final home game, Kansas City Chiefs legend Travis Kelce had some special words for Broncos QB Bo Nix.
The Denver Broncos wrapped up the AFC West in Week 16 and received the team gear for accomplishing one of their goals.
