Episode Details

Patrick Mahomes will return from a major knee injury, but the Denver Broncos refuse to lower their expectations as they embrace respecting, but no longer fearing the Kansas City Chiefs. Can Nik Bonitto, Zach Allen, and an elite pass rush expose some of the questions surrounding Kansas City’s offensive tackle position at Arrowhead?

Cody Roark and Sayre Bedinger examine Denver’s plan to prepare for Mahomes at his best, the Chiefs’ potential shift toward Kenneth Walker and the run game, and the mental hurdles facing a quarterback coming off surgery. They also spotlight Troy Franklin’s breakout training camp, his contested catches and blocking, plus how Jaylen Waddle, Pat Bryant, Courtland Sutton, and Evan Engram could elevate Bo Nix. Plus, Nix’s continued disrespect from national media, his peer-approved top-100 status, and why the underdog role may fuel another leap.

Cody Roark is a credentialed beat reporter for Mile High Sports and provides boots-on-the-ground coverage of the Broncos daily in person. Sayre Bedinger is the site expert for Predominantly Orange. Together, both bring Broncos Country the most in-depth and objective coverage of the Denver Broncos.
