The drubbing handed out by the Ravens last weekend was bad.

Ugly. Concerning. Downright unpleasant.

But Lamar Jackson is different (see Thursday Night Football); he presents a unique challenge for any team. And the Chiefs – while undefeated – have been teetering on the edge of beatable.

Why not the Broncos?

Can Bo Nix and Co. storm into Arrowhead and end the Cheifs win streak? Or, are the Broncos content with the rebuilding project at hand, win or lose? Here’s what our guys think:

The Denver Broncos will face another tough test this week as they prepare for Sunday’s game against the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs. With AFC conference implications at stake, Denver will have to bring their best in hopes of extending their win streak against the Chiefs, and getting one step closer to a playoff spot.

Courtland Sutton says Denver Broncos must be on their P’s and Q’s vs. Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs haven’t played their best brand of football this season and appear to be more beatable than they have in recent memory, but despite all of that, they...

3 things I’m watching for in Chiefs-Broncos

BY PETE SWEENEY

The Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos enter Sunday involved in one of the more unique rivalries in all of sports when you consider the results of the past decade and change.

Following a Chiefs AFC West title in 2010, the Broncos won the division the next five seasons. Kansas City quarterback...

On Thursday, Kansas City’s defensive playcaller and one of it’s team leaders discussed Tampa Bay’s game-tying touchdown drive.

Although the Kansas City Chiefs were able to defeat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in overtime on the most recent Monday Night Football, there was a troubling sign.

Since the start of the 2023 season, the team’s defense has been among the most consistent units in the NFL. Late in the game, with the Chiefs holding a 24-17 lead, Tampa Bay’s offense retook the field. Over two minutes, the team would march for 71 yards on 11 plays to tie the game.

With James Cregg out, Philbin is tasked with fixing the trenches in Las Vegas

The Las Vegas Raiders’ offense has been awful halfway through the season, leading to the organization and head coach Antonio Pierce firing three offensive coaches heading into the bye week. Offensive line coach James Cregg was one of the coaches who lost his job, leading to Joe Philbin taking over the unit for the remainder of the campaign.

It’s no secret that the Raiders’ offensive line was playing poorly this fall. According to Pro Football Focus, the team ranks 27th in run-blocking grade (54.8), is tied...

The Kansas City Chiefs’ offensive firepower got a significant boost with the addition of wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, and the early returns have been electric. Although Monday night’s matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was only Hopkins’ second game with the Chiefs, he looked like a seasoned veteran in this system, pulling in eight catches for 86 yards and two touchdowns on nine targets. His quick connection with quarterback Patrick Mahomes is already making an impact, as Hopkins showed both his versatility and football IQ in another standout performance.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid spoke on how seamlessly Hopkins has...

First quarter

To start the game, Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs offense found it challenging to run the football against the Denver Broncos defensive line. They averaged less than two yards per carry on the first drive, but Patrick Mahomes still found a way to move down the field.

Mahomes connected with a...

Kansas City’s special teams coach is expecting a tough matchup against Denver this Sunday.

During Monday night’s 30-24 overtime win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Kansas City Chiefs tried “kicking to” the Buccaneers with the second-half kickoff — that is, having placekicker Harrison Butker deliberately drop the ball in the landing zone to force a return.

“The kick was perfect,” special teams coordinator Dave Toub told reporters on Thursday. “It was inside the 5-yard line. Butker can kick a touchback at will — so when he does put it in there, it’s on purpose. He put it inside the...

Bengals’ pass-rusher dominated Raiders

One of the final straws before Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce made major changes on the offensive coaching staff hours after a lopsided defeat at the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday was a dominating performance by Bengals’ pass-rusher Trey Hendrickson.

He had four sacks against the Raiders in the final game for James Cregg as the Raiders’ offensive line coach. He lasted just nine games.

The Raiders’ offensive line has been an issue all season and Hendrickson exposed it badly. Check out this recent stat from Zebra Sports via The Associated Press. Hendrickson simply destroyed...
