Team Overview
Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs come into this game on an outstanding 8-0 record, easily sitting atop the AFC standings. With Patrick Mahomes and a powerful offense, the addition of wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has to give Kansas City the most well-rounded team in the league.
Key Stats:
- Offensive Rank: 7th (381.0 yards/game)
- Defensive Rank: 5th (308.2 yards allowed/game)
Denver Broncos
At 5-4, the Broncos have flashed what they could be but were demoralized by the demoralizing 41-10 loss to the Ravens. Their defense has been dreadful, especially against the run; this may be bad news when Kansas City is rolling the dice with numerous offensive weapons.
Key Stats:
- Offensive Rank: 15th (328.5 yards/game)
- Defensive Rank: 32nd (187.6 rushing yards allowed/game)
Key Storylines
1. Chiefs’ Offensive Prowess
With Mahomes leading the charge, this Chiefs offense is one that can be very explosive in both the air and on the ground. DeAndre Hopkins has been a revelation this season, and with Isiah Pacheco running the ball well there should be a balanced look to their attack.
2. Broncos’ Defensive Struggles
Defense of Denver has been weak, and that’s generally against the run. It will be important for them to address that to remain competitive in the game today.
3. Mahomes’ Health
Mahomes twisted his left ankle last week but is expected to play. His mobility will be the focus for the Broncos’ defensive scheme.
4. Broncos’ Offensive Consistency
Bo Nix has had flashes, but he is going to have to have a near-flawless game to counter Kansas City’s offense. A balanced offense and protecting the ball will be paramount.
