Will Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes continue his hot streak, or will the Denver defense uncover the secret to slowing the second-year quarterback? Three things to know before the Chiefs visit the Broncos on Monday Night Football (8:15 p.m. ET, ESPN).
1. Patrick Mahomes continues to steadily improve on working through his progressions, something we saw especially against the 49ers in Week 3—the third game in a row that Mahomes and the Chiefs faced a predominantly Cover 3 zone-based defense. Perhaps no coach is better at dialing up Cover 3-beating plays than Andy Reid (Travis Kelce is especially dangerous here), which explains why the Broncos should consider playing more man-to-man.
