Manning is a Hall of Famer and likely one of if not the most intelligent quarterback to ever play the game. With that said, I don't understand the doom and gloom attitudes about playing the Broncos this year. In our first five games, the Chiefs and Broncos have had three common opponents, one terrible opponent (Oak and Jax) and one good (arguably great) opponent (Ten and Bal).
This win by the Broncos today reminded me a lot of the win we had over the Packers in 2003. Sure, it was a memorable win over a mediocre-good opponent, but similar to the Chiefs in 2003, today's game may have revealed the depth of Denver's defensive weaknesses.
Denver has yet to play a defense like ours, and heck, has yet to play a truly impressive opponent (again, much like the 03 Chiefs). It's possible they will sweep us, sure, but remember, this is almost the same team that Romeo and company held to 17 points at Arrowhead last year.
From what we've seen from the 2013 Chiefs and Broncos, I do not believe we can yet assume that our games against Denver will be automatic losses.
