their run starts this sunday against the chiefs. here's how it lays now. raiders are atop the division at 8-2. broncos and chiefs tied at 7-3. broncos have six games left to climb back to the top and try for a 6th consecutive division title. they're as healthy as they've been this season after the bye and for the first time since week two, all of the defensive starters are finally ready to take the field, together. talib says he feels super playoff games, a healthy defense will be key in the broncos' run to make the most season -- postseason, especially sunday. the numbers tell us the chief's defense will make it hard for the broncos' offense to score. chiefs fifth in the league in scoring defense and have forced a ton of turnovers. plus 29. in those games, they're 17-3. those numbers speak volumes.

is they used the bye to reset. the team is as healthy as it was in september and that puts them in a position to pursue another championship. the team is spirited as kubiak put it. and those three trophies are the perfect reminder of what they're fighting for. >> it's good there's some in this building. that's a good thing. we all know that. those things don't do you any good now. it's a new year, new battle. i think this excited. coaches, organization, everybody. we're there six weeks to play, a lot of big games to play in. that's why we do what we do. we're all excited. we have big challenges ahead. >> and my x factor is quarterback trevor siemian. he's looked good throwing the ball this week. some say he looks the best since the game in week 3. while the chiefs' ability to rush the masser is one of their strengths, on defense it may benefit the broncos this weekend if the chiefs decide to

or two. why? trevor has six touchdowns and only one interception against the blitz. against traditional four player pressure, six touchdowns and six interceptions. the number you need to know is 23.9. specific, i know. after 10 games this season the broncos are averaging 23.9 points per game. last year they averaged 22.3 per game after 10 games. despite the unending complaints we hear about their offense, team is actual scoring more points than at this same point last year. maybe, just maybe, i don't know, the offense isn't so bad. >> i like that number. the defense helped. they helped last year, too. >> they always help. >> romi, happy thanksgiving again. you can hear more from romi mondays and fridays week days 3 to 6 on denver sports 660. what about weather for that game, ashton? doesn't look as cold as it

mountains, including the i-70 corridor. precipitation tries to come into denver sunday, but a down slope should prevent that from happening. 5to 10 inches total, summit county. more than that north and south of interstate 70. ten to 14 inches in the san juans. denver, dry here. 60s the next couple of days. 50s on sunday and much colder for the middle of next week and kickoff temperature for sunday >> reporter: good morning. here's a look at a beautiful sunrise from copter 4. it's just nice broncos sunrise as the broncos get ready to kick off that sunday night game at mile high. as we take a look at the mousetrap, around the highways it's looking good. no major accidents or stalls to report, which is always a good start. take a look at the airport, things look wide open at dia as well. no backups there. we need good weather.

opportunity. >> it's going to be a great day to spend time outdoors. don't spend the whole day in the mall. it's going to be sunny, 60. not many of,,
