During his weekly briefing with the media this afternoon, Broncos coach John Fox was asked whether Denver or Kansas City will have the better quarterback Sunday at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
Fans are sure to view this as a battle between quarterback Tim Tebow and former Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton.
Fox appeared ready for that question.
"I know we made that decision," Fox said of releasing Orton in mid-November and naming Tebow the starter. "As I would say about anything looking forward, time will tell.
"My interpretation of this week is the Denver Broncos vs. the Kansas City Chiefs. And I am sure it will be their approach as well."
Orton is 44-for-67 for 599 yards with one touchdown pass and
two interceptions in two starts with the Chiefs. That includes the victory over then-unbeaten Green Bay and Saturday's 16-13 overtime loss to Oakland.Kansas City, 6-9, is hoping to finish a trying year on a positive note. The Chiefs lost three top players ? safety Eric Berry, running back Jamaal Charles and tight end Tony Moeaki ? in the first month of the season, and head coach Todd Haley was fired on Dec. 12.
The Broncos can clinch the AFC West title and a spot in the playoffs by beating the Chiefs. Otherwise, Denver must hope that San Diego wins at Oakland.
"In my mind (Sunday's game) is much like a playoff game already," Fox said.
?The Broncos coach said there were no updates on injuries to report, including that of safety Brian Dawkins (neck).
