The Denver Broncos’ first game after their bye week will air in a prime time slot. Denver’s Week 12 game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Nov. 27 was changed to start at 6:30 p.m. on NBC’s Sunday Night Football, the NFL announced Monday.

The game was originally scheduled for 2:25 p.m. Now the Chiefs will face the Broncos in a time slot that will attract more eyeballs.

The Chiefs (7-2) are tied with the Oakland Raiders (7-2) atop the AFC West standings. The Broncos (7-3) sit in third, while the San Diego Chargers (4-6) are fourth. The AFC West is the most competitive division in football. All four teams have positive point differentials:
