How to watch Broncos-Chiefs for free on Thursday Night Football on Christmas

It’s NFL Week 17 and tonight’s Thursday Night Football matchup is also Christmas Night Football.

The Denver Broncos head east to face their division rival Kansas City Chiefs in a holiday showdown with a lot at stake for one team.

The Chiefs were eliminated from playoff contention two weeks ago, the same game in which they lost starting quarterback Patrick Mahomes to a torn ACL. The Chiefs then lost to the Titans in Week 16, 26-9.

The Broncos are currently atop the AFC West, and can take another big step toward clinching the AFC West with a win tonight. That, plus an L.A. Chargers loss on Sunday would clinch the division, while clinching the No. 1 seed in the AFC is a bit more complicated and would require New England, Jacksonville, and Buffalo all losing this weekend as well.
