The\u00a0Kansas<\/span>\u00a0City Chiefs have touched down in Denver\u00a0after a day of travel chaos<\/span>\u00a0that saw their flight to Colorado delayed for hours.<\/p>\n

The back-to-back\u00a0Super Bowl<\/span>\u00a0champions face the Broncos in their final regular season game of the NFL season on Sunday.<\/p>\n

After a winter storm left them stranded on the runway for four hours, the Chiefs eventually left Kansas City with\u00a0Patrick Mahomes<\/a><\/span>\u00a0and Travis Kelce among those seen walking off the plane in snowy Denver on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Quarterback Mahomes is being rested for the game against the Broncos, with the Chiefs having already secured the No 1 seed in the AFC.<\/p>\n

There was some doubt over whether Mahomes would travel with the team, given he and his wife Brittany is expecting their third child ‘any day now’.<\/p>\n

Kelce<\/span>\u00a0could also sit out Sunday’s game but the tight end was filmed walking on to the runway in Colorado, too.<\/p>\n
