Agreed. When I look at their schedule and who they lost to, one thing (among several) stands out to me. DEN lost every game vs. an opponent that could run the ball and had a decent run defense. SEA, PIT, LAC, and BAL. Well, KC is near the top of the league on both counts.
As to whether we can score 30, that's I think a coin flip. I'm very curious as to how they're going to try and slow/stop both Travis and DHop. They do have a great CB duo, but you can't put a CB on Travis and call it good, we all know that. And you can't single cover DHop in short to intermediate routes. Will they try that to start the game, I wonder. Or will they try to double/box both and take their chances that Worthy/Watson/Hardman won't make them pay?
Anyway, I'm very curious to see how a good defense will try and deal with them. But I think the offense will ultimately be led by Kareem and the OL run-blocking. So yeah, it'll probably be a low-scoring affair.

Lol, I mean, who cares where they list him? They could have him listed as QB1, who cares? He isn't WR1, and everyone on this planet knows it.
