Ahead of Sundays pivotal matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, the Denver Broncos were treated to a vivid image of their championship past and a fresh reminder of whats at stake as they embark on the closing stretch of the season.On display in the teams locker room this week, for all the players to see, were the three Lombardi trophies the Broncos have won, including the one from last season, when they defeated the Carolina Panthers in the Super Bowl.Its great to see what youre working towards, said Broncos safety T.J. Ward, a member of last seasons title team. Its great to see it in front of you rather than a picture. Its here in the flesh for guys who didnt get a chance to hold it last year. Its just a reminder. I hope it motivates other players. Its just a good thing to have in the locker room.Head coach Gary Kubiak thought so to, especially with the Broncos gearing up to face the Chiefs, with whom they are tied for second in the AFC West at 7-3, a game behind the division leading Oakland Raiders.Its a new year and a new battle, Kubiak said. I think this team is really excited: the coaches, the organization, everybody. Were there with six weeks to play. We have a lot of big football games to play in. Thats why we do what we do. Were all excited. You can feel it around here.So can the Chiefs, who are in the thick of the chase for a playoff berth as well. The game between the division rivals, originally scheduled in the afternoon, was flexed to a prime-time matchup.I dont think you could make it any bigger or more intense than it already is, Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith told reporters. The way the division has gone to this point, its already pretty tight.This is our first crack at these guys and theyre the defending Super Bowl champions. Weve been in a lot of battles with these guys over the years and the fact that it got moved to the Sunday night game, itll be under the lights and we understand that. Itll be fun. I dont think it could be any more intense than it already is.As it did last season, Denver has leaned on its staunch defense to get the best of opposing teams. But the offense has shown progress in its bid to achieve greater balance in the run and pass games under the direction of quarterback Trevor Siemian, whose seven wins are the second most by a Broncos quarterback in his first nine career starts in team history.He hasnt had that much consistency, Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson said. Hes not very tall in the pocket, but somehow he is still making all the throws he needs to make. So hats off to that. Youd think a shorter guy like him -- hes not crazy short, but I think he should have some problems seeing back there, and hes pretty comfortable back there. Hopefully, we can make him uncomfortable. Thats our plan.The Broncos, coming off a bye, have had a chance to heal up going into their first meeting of the season with the Chiefs, who were upset last week by Tampa Bay.Fullback Andy Janovich had the cast protecting a broken hand removed during the bye week, which should help restore him as a receiving threat as well as aid in his lead blocking for the running game and blitz protection on passing downs.Defensive end Derek Wolfe returned to practice this week after missing the Broncos win at New Orleans two weeks ago with an elbow injury, and cornerback Aqib Talib, sidelined since Oct. 24 with a lower back problem, also resumed practicing and is expected to be ready to face the Chiefs.The Chiefs have their share of injuries to contend with, though Johnson is expected to play despite dealing with some soreness in his Achilles tendon.Both wide receiver Jeremy Maclin (groin) and outside linebacker Dee Ford (hamstring) have been declared out of the game.Cornerback Marcus Peters (hip) and linebacker Tamba Hali (knee) also had some limitations in practice in the days leading up to the game.

Fremantle will focus on a trade for Cam McCarthy after decisions by fellow AFL forwards Jesse Hogan and Rory Lobb not to return to Western Australia.Hogan gave Melbournes rebuild a major boost on Tuesday when he signed a two-year contract extension, tying him to the Demons until the end of the 2019 season.Lobb has done the same, killing off speculation of a move to Fremantle or West Coast in the upcoming trade period.The Dockers are in the market for a forward after the the retirement of captain Matthew Pavlich.They were also interested in WA-born Cale Hooker, who decided earlier this year to stay with Essendon.Fremantle tried to recruit McCarthy last year from the GWS Giants, who played hard ball and knocked back their offer.McCarthy then stood out of football this year because of mental health issues.Giants list manager Craig Cameron said they were talking to the Dockers about a potential trade for the 21-year-old.We are having good faith discussions with Fremantle on him, but we havent reached an undertaking that thats where hell land, Cameron told AFL Trade Radio.We have a value on him and were discussing it with Fremantle.Hes stilll got a year to run on his contract .dddddddddddd.. so a trade has to be done for him to land where he wants to land.Meanwhile, Travis Cloke doesnt think he needs to reinvent himself as a player to provide value to the Western Bulldogs if he gets his wish for a trade from Collingwood.The Pies four-time leading goal kicker was dropped three times this year by coach Nathan Buckley and managed just 13 games.Elements of the 29-year-olds game had clearly been on the nose for Buckley, but Cloke doesnt believe hell need to undergo a radical makeover to play a key role for Luke Beveridge.I dont think I need to reinvent myself, Cloke said.Ive got strengths I need to work to ... obviously, my running is one of them and my marking.But there are some things I can improve in my game with a fresh start, a fresh challenge - Im really looking forward to it.Cloke dismissed suggestions he needed to drop some weight to play a wider-roaming role, adding his skinfold measurements were exactly where they needed to be this year.
