Week 8 Preview

The Chiefs square off against the Broncos for the second time in 3 weeks.

The Chiefs will look to win their 17th straight game against the Broncos, which would put them in a tie for the 3rd longest win streak against a single opponent.

The forecast for Denver on Sunday is 29 degrees and a 75% chance of snow. When asked about it, Mahomes called himself “a snow game guy.”

• 🏈 Who: Chiefs (6-1) @ Broncos (2-5)

• 📔 Game Line: KC -7

• Nick Bolton had a successful surgery to repair his wrist and will miss at least 6 weeks

Offense

• The offense sputtered against the Broncos defense in the red zone in week 6. Can they build upon their strong offensive performance against the Chargers and convert their red zone opportunities on Sunday?

• Travis Kelce had over 100 receiving yards in the first half in the previous matchup against the Broncos. Will the Broncos have a better plan to slow down the star tight end?

• Rashee Rice continues to steadily improve week by week, but he’s yet to eclipse the 100-yard receiving mark in a game. When will he have a truly breakout game?

Defense

• The defense has yet to give up more than 21 points in a single game and held the Broncos to just 8 points two weeks ago. Can they continue their dominance?

• Charles Omenihu had an immediate impact in his return to action last week. Will he continue to make game-changing plays on the defensive line?

• The secondary is quietly proving to be one of the best in the league. In the previous matchup against the Broncos, Russell Wilson only threw for 95 passing yards. Can they shut down Wilson again this week?

The Broncos (2-5) are coming off their second win of the season, beating the Packers 19-17 last week.

• The Broncos first year under HC Sean Payton has been a huge disappointment

• It has been rumored that the Broncos will listen to trade offers for several of their players to acquire more draft capital

• According to one NFL GM, Sean Payton would trade Russell Wilson if there was a market for him.

The coordinators and Trey Smith spoke to the media yesterday.
