Denver Broncos: 3 things team must do to end slump vs. Chiefs in 2020

What do the Denver Broncos need to do to upend the Kansas City Chiefs in 2020?

The Chiefs are the defending champions and will likely be heavy favorites to win the AFC West division when the 2020 season kicks off. But the argument can be made that the team inside the division that is next best would be the Broncos.

Still, there seems to be a considerable gap in terms of talent between the two teams.

The Chiefs are an offensive juggernaut with the best quarterback in the game on their roster and with the addition of first-round pick Clyde Edwards-Helaire, there is a feeling they can be even better. They aren’t too shabby on defense either.

But their recent dominance over the Broncos gives them an even bigger advantage.

The Broncos have not beaten the Chiefs since September 2015 and have won the last nine meetings between the teams. Though many of those contests have been close, the Chiefs beat the Broncos by a total score of 53-9 in two games last year, and they did that without Patrick Mahomes for most of one of those.

The Broncos are a trendy pick to win one of the AFC’s Wild Card spots this coming season, but to be a true contender to win it all again, they must find a way to end this losing streak against their divisional rival.

After losing nine straight games against one team, it’s just as much of a mental battle as it is anything else.

Here, we will take a look at three things the Broncos will need to do in order to possibly end this streak this coming season. This is a talented Chiefs squad and there are things that the Broncos or any other team just aren’t going to be able to stop, but there are other areas where an advantage could be gained and the tide could start to turn.
