Chiefs vs. Broncos: NFL Week 8 Showdown Recap & Insights

Jacob, you mentioned the Chiefs. This is two straight now that they've dropped. I know they have to go up to Denver, a very tough place to play. And they had a lead, and they couldn't hold the lead. I mean, that's something that championship football teams do. They put teams away. Concerns on that, especially late in that ball game. Denver was able to rally, come back, and win there. I mean, Bo Nix, as we said, he's not really anybody special. But the play caller on the other side. He's a special play caller in Sean Payton. What was your takeaway with that game? Yeah. My main take on the Broncos side of it. My main takeaway is Bo Nix can function as a game manager and he'll occasionally make those like high end plays where like, Oh, he threw on the run, made a nice throw. Like he's not going to beat you with spectacular plays all the time, but because that team is so well coached and has a good defense, the Broncos are just going to be a tough and pesky team to beat. You really don't want them to get that home field advantage in Denver too. Cause it is so hard to win there for the Chiefs side of this. I'm looking at this, These last two wins have something very much in common. Kenneth Walker has been bottled up by the Seahawks and the Broncos more so than he was early in the season. Now, that's not to say that he was completely stymied this week against the Broncos, but I think teams are proving and saying, hey, if we take away Kenneth Walker and make Patrick Mahomes have to beat us with the receiving core he has, Mahomes is still capable of doing that, but just not at the same consistent level we saw early in his career. So I firmly expect that Mahomes is going to continue to perform well and keep the Chiefs competitive, but If the game falls entirely on that passing game, they just don't have the horses at receiver and tight end. You know, Kelsey's still good at this point, but he's not the same high-end option he once was. They just don't have the horses needed to win games like that consistently against top-tier talent.
