The Denver Broncos take on the Kansas City Chiefs for a critical AFC West showdown. I take a look at some important information for the game.

It might be early on in the 2018 season, but the Denver Broncos have an important game on tap for Monday Night Football. It is the second game of the season featuring a team in the division. And a win in week four will provide the Denver Broncos a solid head start into the battle for the AFC West crown.

Denver welcomes in the Kansas City Chiefs for the first of two meetings in October. You heard that correctly, both of these teams face off twice in a 27 day span. As a matter of fact, the Broncos face the Chiefs in back-to-back divisional battles. Denver will have the Jets, Rams, and Cardinals sandwiched in between the two meetings.

The Chiefs come into Denver as one of the three remaining undefeated teams. They have gotten things done with their offense. Patrick Mahomes III has been a superstar for them thus far. He has broken Peyton Manning’s record of most touchdown passes in the first three games of a season.

Will he have that same firepower against the Denver Broncos? The only way I see that happening is if the Broncos front seven cannot get to the quarterback. Which is going to be a key part in this game I will touch base on later.

There is a lot to cover for this key AFC West showdown, and I have all you need to know here.
