How do the Broncos avoid a repeat of week 1 vs Kansas City?
Seattle exposed weaknesses in the Chiefs—but how much of that performance can the Broncos replicate? Alex Gold of Cody and Gold on 96.5 The Fan in Kansas City joins Zach Bye and Phillip Lindsay on The Drive to share the view from the other side of this rivalry.
Gold explains how Seattle’s success brought questions about Kansas City’s pass protection, defensive pressure and coverage into focus. Shutting down Kenneth Walker was central to that performance, but he cautions that the Seahawks had the personnel to execute their plan—and the Chiefs were dealing with key absences. For Denver, the challenge is turning those lessons into a defensive approach that works with its own players.
The conversation also revisits Kansas City’s reaction to the Broncos’ Week 1 loss and Walker’s immediate impact. Gold says Chiefs fans still don’t view Bo Nix as a legitimate threat, even sharing a pointed joke about his potential future extension that gets a reaction from Zach and Phil.
It sets up two big questions for Denver: how can the defense avoid another damaging day against Walker, and what can Nix do to make Kansas City reconsider its confidence?
Broncos Country, what should Denver take from Seattle’s game plan—and what does Bo Nix need to show to change the conversation? Share your predictions in the comments, like the video and subscribe for more Broncos coverage from The Drive with Zach Bye and Phillip Lindsay.
