That means the winner of next week's game will be in first place in the AFC West. Denver has a real chance to get revenge for the Week 1 massacre and silence some of those doubters.

For the Broncos offense, they have to play like they did last week — obviously — and avoid the three-and-out issue. They largely did that on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. However, in Week 1 they did not. It would be good to see Denver stick with Jonah Coleman in this game. He seemed to have must better vision than J.K. Dobbins last week, but I'm also okay to stick with a hot hand if someone has one against the Chiefs.
Defensively, they have got to contain Kenneth Walker III. We saw what happened when he gets completely shut down like he was against the Seahawks. The Chiefs offense only scored three points and Patrick Mahomes looked pedestrian. Denver's defense has come a long way since Week 1 and I hope they learned some valuable lessons from that game. If they come out and shut KW3 down, then this game should break the Broncos way.
