Exactly what we want. Keep buying Bo Nix as a guy who will be elite one day. Get to 8 or 9 wins and stay in purgatory.

Quite a few had them starting 0-5. Either way, it’s splitting hairs at this point.
Im still saying they will finish below .500. Had them at 6 wins before the season. Now, at most 8.

Then it’s at KC and while they are undefeated, Mahomes and company have not been prolific. That being said, the Chiefs win that one, probably by 13.
Puts Denver at 5-5 and hosting the Falcons. The Falcons offense can rock, but they’re not unbeatable for Denver. The Broncos will either be 5-6 or 6-5 after 11.
The next 3 are at the Raiders, then home vs CLE and IND. Denver can win 2 of those. Puts them at 7-7 or 8-6.
Final 3 are at the Chargers, at the Bengals and home vs KC. They’ll win one of those, maybe 2, but I’ll stick with 1.
So it’s looking like 8-9 or 9-7, pretty much where I had them in the preseason.
They need to beat the Raiders, Chargers, Chiefs in Denver and one other and I’ll be content.
Not prolific? KC's defense is top 5 in both points and yards, and the offense is top 10ish in both and #1 in success rate. And they just added Hopkins.
It's unfortunate that rival fans don't think our Chiefs have earned enough style points during this 13-game win streak, but knowledgeable fans say this is clearly the best team in the league.

I never said they weren’t the best team in the league.
