Welcome to week six of the NFL’s 2023 schedule! This week gets underway with an AFC West matchup, as the division-leading Kansas City Chiefs face the last-place Denver Broncos.
If there were ever a get-right game for a Chiefs offense that is underperforming relative to preseason expectations and their normal output, it is tonight. The Broncos have the NFL’s worst defense by nearly every metric: points, yards, net yards per pass attempt, and yards per rushing attempt. They are also a historically bad defense through five games, ranking as the worst defense in DVOA after five weeks ever — or at least as far back as DVOA goes (around 1990).
