How did the Broncos let the Chiefs embarrass them like that on Monday Night Football?
Zach Bye and Phillip Lindsay react to the Broncos’ embarrassing season‑opening loss to the Kansas City Chiefs — a game Denver was supposed to control. Despite believing the Broncos have real Super Bowl potential, last night’s performance was a major setback.
The guys break down what went wrong, from a flawed game plan to abandoning the run, to relying on shotgun looks that didn’t fit JK Dobbins’ downhill style. How did a veteran offensive line get pushed around by one of the youngest teams in the league? And what does this say about the Broncos’ offensive identity moving forward?
This is the full breakdown of frustration, missteps, and the urgent fixes Denver must make to get back on track.
