Episode Notes

The Denver Broncos no longer fear the Kansas City Chiefs, but they still have to respect Patrick Mahomes. With Mahomes returning from a major multi-ligament knee injury, can Denver’s defense prepare for his best version while avoiding the trap of underestimating him?

Cody Roark examines Sean Payton’s approach to Monday Night Football, the Broncos’ shift from hunters to hunted after sweeping Kansas City last season, and the new challenge posed by running back Kenneth Walker. Denver must balance its pass-rush stunts and coverage plan against Walker’s explosiveness, power, and big-play ability, all without game tape of him in the Chiefs’ offense. The matchup could come down to whether the Broncos stop the run without giving Mahomes room to create.
