ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- In an NFL coaching career that is now in its fourth decade, Denver Broncos coach Vic Fangio has coached against the Canton-enshrined likes of Dan Marino, Joe Montana, Steve Young, Troy Aikman, Jim Kelly, Brett Favre, John Elway and Kurt Warner, so he has some experience at evaluating what top-shelf quarterbacks can do to defenses.
And Thursday night in Denver, Fangio will get his first gameday look at Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. So far this season Mahomes has thrown 14 touchdown passes to go with just one interception as he leads the league in passing yards after six games (2,104).
