Division game on Primetime is always going to be hard. This is probably the biggest challenge so far, because there is already familiarity and now expectations.
Having Talib gone helps, for sure, but that defense still has a lot of talent on it. I wouldn't be surprised if we came out conservative and tried to grind out a win. I don't think Reid is particularly concerned with putting on a show.
Then again, I expect no less than two plays that we haven't seen before. He knows every DC will be glued to their TV, and he's going to give them stuff to prepare for after this week.
I'm going to say Keenum ends with 256, 1TD, 1 Rush TD, and two INT.
Mahomes gets 230 yds, 1 TD and 1 INT.
Chiefs win a close one at 21-18 (after a 2 pt conversion on the Broncos' second TD.) Broncos kick an onside, Chiefs recover, run out the clock.
That, or the Chiefs win 54-27.
