The Broncos have the right mindset as it comes to their preparation for Monday Night Football against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Then later, I'll tell you why the Broncos... to prepare for one dynamic that they necessarily haven't prepared for when facing the chiefs just yet we'll get in all that let's get into the first part here patrick mahomes is coming off of a major multi-ligament knee injury that includes the acl significant damage to the lcl which is very painful as someone who's gone through that himself i understand that there's always this mental barrier that athletes run into when coming off of an acl and right now it would be very easy for any team and for anybody even us in the media to look at Mahomes and the Chiefs and to say, you know what? Patrick Mahomes is not going to be able to run around like he always used to.
Now, specifically for the Broncos, The defense, they're not looking at it that way, and certainly head coach Sean Payton are not viewing Mahomes or the Chiefs in that light.
So a big part of that is overlooking Mahomes and saying, you know, he's not going to be the guy that he used to be.
