Denver Broncos: What we want to see vs Kansas City Chiefs

What we want to see from the Denver Broncos on Sunday night in Kansas City.

When the Denver Broncos face off against the Kansas City Chiefs tonight in Arrowhead on Sunday Night Football, all eyes are going to be on second-year quarterback Drew Lock.

However, the game won’t just be on his shoulders.

The Broncos are going to have to perform their best in many phases of the game tonight if they are going to win—or even just compete—against the Chiefs.

It’s not a great situation to be in: the Broncos are obviously not at full strength and have not been all year. But that’s not a good excuse anymore. There are 11 Broncos players on the field at any time. They have to be the best they can be.

Whether you expect this team to come out with a victory over the Chiefs or not, there are still things that you’d hope to see improvement on. I’m here to provide three for you.

Time of Possession

Phillip Lindsay is going to be absolutely crucial to the Broncos tonight. While I’d hope to see some solid throws by Drew Lock, this game should be closer if the Broncos rely on Lindsay to run the ball.

We can get Melvin Gordon involved too, but I think Lindsay will be more effective.

The longer the Broncos have the ball, the better. The longer Patrick Mahomes is on the sideline, the better. The team needs to limit Mahomes’ time on the field so that he can’t execute those magical drives he is known for.

Hopefully, either running back can punch the ball into the end zone a couple of times to take some pressure off of the defense, as well as Lock.
