Patrick Mahomes got his first taste of adversity against the Broncos on Monday Night Football, and the Chiefs’ quarterback, on a record-breaking tear so far this season, didn’t even blink.
Denver’s defense brought plenty of pressure on the quarterback, and even with a depleted secondary, the defensive backs matched up honorably with Kansas City’s many offensive weapons. The Broncos were able to do something none of the Chiefs’ first three opponents this season could do: Prevent the Chiefs from scoring a touchdown on the opening drive (instead, Kansas City kicked a field goal).
