The Broncos-Chiefs rivalry is a rivalry between the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs in the National Football League's AFC West division. Since the American Football League was established in 1960, the Broncos and the Chiefs have shared the same division, first being the AFL Western Conference, and since the AFL-NFL merger, the AFC West. For years, the rivalry has featured two of the best home-field advantages in the league. The Dallas Texans/Chiefs dominated the Broncos in the 1960s, the decade of the AFL, winning 19 of 20 games. The Broncos have responded since then, winning the series of every subsequent decade. The teams are tied at 9 wins a piece in the 2010s. The Chiefs/Texans lead the series 63-55, but since the Texans moved to Kansas City and became the Chiefs, they lead 57-55. Dallas swept all six meetings in the rivalry's first three years.
