The other thing that has been mentioned is the pace of the game...
Denver has 371 points scored through 9 games, with 156 of those coming in the first half (avg of 17.3) and 215 coming in the second half (avg of 24).
Denver is averaging a full 7 more points scored per game in the second half, after they've made their adjustments.
Through 9 games, only 3 teams have scored more than Denver in the second half.
Oak (10-14) in a loss. Dallas (23-28) in a loss. SD (7-14) in a loss.
In either half, Denver averages more points than KC's offense is putting out there...

I guess we have a week's worth of this type of bullsh going back and forth.
Buckle up...
