Chiefs lead the league on 3rd with 54%. They converted 66% (!!!) last night. What else do you people want?
In the rain, too. It was a good offensive performance.
I know what O is talking about, though. We got no points on two drives that we really should have had at least 10 between the Worthy no-catch (7) and the Kelce fumble (IIRC we were driving and likely would have come away with at least 3).
Donks can't cover a deep threat and good tight ends consistently. If they try Hunt will run it right up their arse. Donks are posers. Protect PM and let the Chiefs D feast.
Chiefs by 17. [Reply]

Yeah, I hated what we did on O in that series. We needed to be aggressive enough to get a first down, and we turtled a bit on the first two calls. That said, Perine dropping that pass on 3rd down fucked us out of forcing TB having to call their last TO. I don't think he gets anywhere close to a 1st down, but they def call that TO. [Reply]
I think Nix is gonna need to be held in check with his elusiveness. If we can’t stop the qb runs Chiefs will be in for a shootout. Denver’s defense though…might be a lower scoring game. Chiefs haven’t figured out how to win a game without last minute stress though. [Reply]
The Broncos win when Nix plays well, and when the Broncos elite CB tandem shuts down the other teams' wide receivers.
But Nix is going to be facing a Spags defense he has likely never, ever seen. And the Chiefs don't need their WRs to put up stats in order to win.
I think this is a bad matchup for the Broncos. I suspect the Chiefs jump out to an early first half lead of like 17-3, then hit the brakes for the second half to keep their options open for Buffalo next week.
I think there's some potential for a trap game here, because the Broncos hate us more than anyone, and we're probably looking ahead to the Bills game. So a 24-22 victory wouldn't surprise me.
But I think it's just much, much more likely that we put this one away, like 26-20 in a game that isn't nearly as competitive as the score would make it seem. [Reply]
