Indeed, Kansas City is 37-13 against the AFC West since Reid became head coach.
Reid is 19-3 in games immediately after a bye, 6-2 for the Chiefs and 11-1 in such home games. Who the Chiefs are against the Broncos is unbeatable in the past 11 meetings. “You have the mindset of, ‘We’re going to go out there and be who we are.’” “I think guys have done a great job of stepping up in their roles,” Mahomes says. That often-maligned unit has allowed 18 points or fewer in each of those four victories. So the Chiefs (7-4), who have won four straight games and have a one-game lead over Denver, Las Vegas and the Los Angeles Chargers in the division, get to showcase not only their offensive prowess but their recent significant improvement on defense. “Besides,” Fangio added, “we’re playing the Chiefs, who have been the best team in football the last three years.” I don’t think we’ll have an issue being emotionally ready. “It’s like somebody mentioned the other day: Sunday night is THE game,” Broncos coach Vic Fangio said this week, “so players get amped for it. Plus, anytime the NFL and NBC can get Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and the rest of the Chiefs in prime time is an opportunity they tend to seize. Sunday night’s game, which replaces San Francisco at Seattle, is for the AFC West lead, which makes it significant enough.
The NFL flexed Denver at Kansas City with those facts staring directly at the league Andy Reid almost never loses coming off a bye. Business & Finance Click to expand menu.
