The time is almost here.
The Chiefs have had opportunities in seasons past to show they are contenders.
This year they have a chance to show they are not just contenders, but are great.
Broncos offense have scored an average of 43.5 points per game at home against the 8th, 20th, 21st, 31st, and 32nd scoring defenses.
Chiefs defense have allowed an average of 12 points against the 11th, 18th, 24th, and 32nd scoring offenses.
Denver scores tons of points. Kansas City yields few points. The cannon versus the wall.
People have doubted the Chiefs because of the schedule, because of the opposing QBs, because of plays that shouldn't be depended upon.
The Chiefs have beaten teams with a strength of schedule is 30-55 or 35.29%. The Broncos have beaten teams with a strength of schedule is 28-46 or 37.84%. Against the teams that Denver has beaten at home, their strength of schedule is 16-30 or 34.78%.
The string of back-ups that the Chiefs have faced have turned out to be slightly more successful than most originally believed. Outside of the last game in Buffalo the other QBs (Terrell Pryor, Ryan Fitzpatrick, and Case Keenum) have gone on to become the starters for their respective teams and had some success against others.
These Chiefs are all about exorcising the demons of the past.
They are all about challenging perceptions of what they can be.
They will give up some yardage on the ground. They will give up 2-3 long pass plays. What they do not do is give up a lot of points.
Manning is gimpy. He will not survive the game.
People will continue to doubt the Chiefs because they don't win with an impressive offense. There will be more excuses tomorrow night.
But they win.
And that trend continues in Mile High.
A red dawn will rise on Denver tomorrow... followed by a black night.
Dying time is almost here. For Manning and the Broncos.
They are a great team.
Kansas City will be better.
KILL! KILL! KILL!
