What happened: Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice carries no injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos and is expected to play. Rice returned to practice this week after he missed time with a hamstring injury.

Why it matters: Rice's return restores a primary perimeter target to a Kansas City passing offense that scored three points in its previous contest. The Chiefs hold the AFC top seed at 5-1 but face divisional pressure from Denver, which enters at 5-2 on a three-game winning streak.

By the numbers: Kansas City Chiefs: 5-1 (No. 1 seed in AFC, streak L1). Denver Broncos: 5-2 (No. 5 seed in AFC, streak W3).

What to watch: The Chiefs host the Broncos on Sunday in an AFC West divisional matchup.
