Broncos at Chiefs (Part 1)

The Denver Broncos head to Arrowhead to take on the Chiefs in week 15. But this time is different.

In their first meeting of the year, Joe Flacco was quarterbacking the Broncos. Now it is Drew Lock’s turn. This will be Lock’s second road matchup in the NFL. Arrowhead is one of the toughest places to play in the NFL and it’s probably even tougher as a rookie quarterback.

We have seen Drew Lock perform very well against teams that aren’t very good and that was at home. This will be the big test in his home state.

I think Lock will see his first loss in the NFL this weekend.

The Broncos have not beaten the Chiefs since week 2 of the 2015 season. The 2016 draft class (those who are still around) have never beaten Kansas City, despite being close a number of times.

The Broncos finally have a QB who can help them keep pace against a good offense like the Chiefs, and I think this game is sort of functioning as the ‘Super Bowl’ for the Broncos this season.

The Broncos are due to beat KC, and I think we finally see it happen in Drew Lock’s homecoming.

Denver is going into this game on a two-game winning streak. Kansas City is coming off a big win over the Patriots. So, both teams are doing well.

I think the win over the Patriots will tire out the Chiefs. And yes, Denver is not successful at Arrowhead in December. But I think that changes. Denver has something in Drew Lock and the Chiefs pass defense, while solid the last few games, has some weak points.

With limited film on Lock and hopefully with pressure on Mahomes, who is battling an injury, Denver might find a way again.
