Busted Broncos Face Champion Chiefs on NBC Sunday Night Football
On nearly all occasions NBC Sunday Night Football gets the best games on the board. However, this week’s matchup lacks Betting on NFL gravitas. The defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs certainly qualify for the marquee. But the Denver Broncos do not. Specifically, Kansas City remains one of the most difficult teams in pro football to beat. With Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes no lead is ever safe. Teams seem more terrified when they lead the Chiefs than when they trail them. Denver does boast one of the NFL’s best defensive minds in coach Vic Fangio. By contrast Chiefs coach Andy Reid is an offensive mastermind. A big factor for the Chiefs improvement in 2020 is their defense. Defensive Coordinator Steve Spagnuolo has turned the unit into an asset. Complementing it all is a much more reliable rushing attack let by rookie first round draft pick Clyde Edwards Helaire.
