Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil live from Après Govnr's Park. The guys start out their preview of the Broncos and Chiefs Monday Night Football game. Do the Broncos have the edge at quarterback with Patrick Mahomes coming off major knee surgery? Is Mahomes no longer the "boogeyman" in the AFC West? Zach and Phil react to Patrick Surtain's letter to the Players Tribune. Zach reads direct quotes from the piece on the silence in the locker room directly after the AFC Championship. Surtain shares about his journey of getting acclimated to Denver after not knowing much before moving here. We recap the crazy weekend in the NFL, including the Vikings coming back to beat the Packers with a backup quarterback, the shootout between the Bills and Texans in Houston, and Derrick Henry scoring 3 touchdowns. We hear from a pissed-off Deion Sanders from the locker room after Colorado's big win over Weber State. Is Deion right to be upset with certain aspects of his team even though it wasn't a close game?
