Pros
- The Broncos are a massive 10.5-point underdog this week, likely leading to an extreme passing game script.

- This year, the porous Kansas City Chiefs defense has been gouged for a staggering 56.0 adjusted receiving yards per game vs. opposing TEs: the 6th-most in the NFL.
- This year, the anemic Chiefs defense has been torched for the 10th-most adjusted yards-per-target in football to opposing tight ends: a staggering 7.95 yards.
Cons

- The Broncos have called the 4th-fewest plays in the league this year, averaging a measly 51.8 plays per game.
- Adam Trautman’s 66.2% Adjusted Completion Rate this season reflects a a noteable decrease in his pass-catching prowess over last season’s 80.6% mark.
