Kansas City has never been an easy place for the Broncos to win.
In fact, the Broncos are 15-33 in Kansas City since the Chiefs moved to the city in 1963.
So when Denver heads to Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, the club knows it’s in for a challenge.
“It’s always tough playing at Arrowhead,” quarterback Peyton Manning said. “It’s always been loud the times I’ve played there. I’ve always thought their fans are smart fans. They get loud at the right times. They’ve always had good defenses when I’ve played there as well. It’s a good combination I think.”
Tight end Jacob Tamme will make his first trip to the storied venue on Sunday, but said he’s well versed in what to expect.
“I know it can be one of the most fun places to play in the NFL. I know they have a great fan base there and we’ll be expecting it to be loud and we’ll see how it goes.”
Executive Vice President of Football Operations John Elway, who saw plenty of Arrowhead Stadium during his playing days, said on this week’s Elway Access that he knew the type of game to expect every time he headed to Kansas City.
“I always knew I’d come out of there with a lot of bumps and a lot of bruises,” he said.
But the Broncos also know the game is played on the field, not in the stands. So Elway said it will be up to the 7-3 Broncos to make sure the 1-9 Chiefs don’t grab big plays to ignite their home-field advantage.
“Any time you go into Arrowhead (Stadium), it’s a tough place to play,” Elway said. “I know the Chiefs are struggling this year, but as we know, everybody in the NFL can beat anybody on any given day. Peyton has the right attitude. The fact is, it doesn’t matter what their record is. They can get hot at any point in time. So hopefully we can go in there and take control of the football game early and keep the crowd out of it, because it’s probably as loud a stadium as there is in the league when it’s going.”

JJ WATT is a Beast!!! Houston v Detroit should be a good one!
And Arrowheads field is the worst kept turf in the NFL. A real ugly and rough field at that. GO BRONCOS!!
BADGERS BEAST!!
Plus.. Calvin and Andre Johnson in the Same game!!! What a treat!
Hows it going Turtle? I’ve gone backwards in the blog contest. The Dane is kicking some butt. Time to play some catch up. LOL
Hiya Strandsky!!! Happy Thanksgiving Broncos Brother! are you getting to watch the games?
I sure am! GO DETROIT AND N.Y. JETS!! HaHa!!
The Dane is on a Terror!
Nice! I am also leaning that way today! it’s so hard for me to cheer either way when the Broncos aren’t involved… I catch myself watching the Offensive and Defensive Lines more than the Ball!!!
The Chiefs are having a hard time scoring 7′s.
The fight is in those trenches!
It looks as if Kuper will be back on Sunday. He opens those holes for us. We need help with McGahee out.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING BRONCOS COUNTRY..MAN CANT WAIT FOR SUNDAY..BRADY QUINN AND PEYTON HILLIS TWO FORMER BRONCOS WILL SEE THE ORANGE CRUSH DEFENSE IN FULL-EFFECT
I agree! Kupe will be a big improvement for the O line… I’m not super concerned about McG going down, there is talent still on our Roster at RB, and if they can pick up a blitz or two PM will take care of the rest I think
Hi Mine! I’m hoping that Miller can take back the Sack lead from Aldon Smith! Quinn should be a sitting Duck!
I concur! Plus Manning creates our RUNNING GAME not the other way around. A totally different dimension with Peyton at the helm. I’m not overly concerned.
Lions up 7-0.
Wow… did you hear that Stat… Lions haven’t won a Thanksgiving game in 9 years?!? WOW… What a tradition to look forward to in the MotorCity…
