As the Broncos prepare for their Christmas Day showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs, they find themselves facing extra pressure after a brutal loss to the Jaguars. Denver’s almost season-long winning streak came to an end, in its gap within the division shrank as well. The Broncos lost much of their margin for air, and can’t afford to lose anymore this week.
No matter how bad the Broncos or fans might feel about themselves after last week’s loss, no one should feel worse for themselves than the Kansas City Chiefs. After losing superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes for the rest of this season and potentially into next season, they also lost their backup, Gardner Minshew, and are on their third-string quarterback.
