Can we all pretty much agree that KC is the worse 9-0 team in NFL history? That doesn't mean they are a bad team, they are good, it just means they are not as good as any other team that has hung 9 wins-0 losses beside their name.
Onto the game; for starters I think we see an all out gallant effort from the chiefs who had to notice Vegas opened them up as the second biggest dog on the board. ouch. You better bet the Chief practices this week will be intense. The Chief coaches have been around the block and know they have to pressure manning.
The Broncos have not had a high profile game against a true contender really all year. They beat the Jags, cowgirls and who else hmm played the Raiders and Redskins. The point being they have not had a battle of the titans game yet this year at home. Denver comes out ready.
Do the Broncos make a statement in this game? Yes I think they do. The trickier one is Can they make a statement? I don't think they can. KC pounds on a sore manning, plays great defense and keeps it close. Manning is Manning and finds a way to get the high fives as the gun sounds but the generous amount of points hold up.
