I think we win this with solid pass coverage on short to medium routes and sustaining long offensive possessions.
We won't get a ton of pressure on Manning but that won't be a necessity as long as we're limiting his opportunities with the football. |

68 targets with 44 receptions, 32 first downs - really good. That's only 4 catches a game though, with nearly 3 of those being first downs. Bowe has devolved into the safety valve to move the sticks with this 12.5 ypc. Smith is 28th in the league with 6.76 yards per attempt passing. Smith is 31st in passing yards per game ... the key is to contain the ground game, don't let the TEs get open and Arrowhead is transformed into Puntsville, MO. |

The Chiefs offense can't score 30 points and the defense can't turn Manning over. This game is a loss. |

Actually, Denver is just a bit better than KC right now, they're at 36.9%. |

So, sure the stats may not support the comment, but I've watched too many drives continue because we fall short when it matters on stopping them at 3rd down. |

31st in passing yards per game. I think this stat is not as important as people think. Chiefs are also near the bottom of the league in number of offensive possessions which is going to directly correlate into passing yards. Chiefs have also enjoyed playing most of their games with the lead which directly correlates to pounding the rock to grind the clock in the later portion of the game. If the Broncos do a decent job containing (not destroying but containing) the run game and take away the TE, but do not get heavy and early pressure on Smith, I still like the Chiefs chances. Short but steady passing plays to Charles, Bowe, Sherman and Avant will do just as good as short plays to Fasano and Kelce. It all hinges on the line. |
at least they're not playing the raiders this week. Man, that team was tough.

We better have some LONG offensive drives with 7 points scored not 3 or turnover on downs.
