The Kansas City Chiefs’ next opponent is a familiar one — but one that is currently dealing with an incredible level of dysfunction. On Monday, the Denver Broncos fired first-year head coach Nathaniel Hackett; the rare move happened immediately after a 51-14 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, which dropped Denver’s record to 4-11.
On top of that, the Broncos also relieved the special teams coordinator and the offensive line coach (two essential parts of a game-day operation) of their duties. To finish out the remaining two games of the season, Denver has assigned assistant Jerry Rosburg as interim head coach; Rosburg was hired in September to help with in-game decision-making.
