Chiefs News: Chiefs’ comeback campaign named top NFL storyline

Kansas City launches its season on Monday night at Arrowhead Stadium, taking on the division champion Denver Broncos as the franchise attempts to rebound from its first losing campaign under Andy Reid since his arrival in 2013. The spotlight shines brightest on Patrick Mahomes, who is slated to make his comeback after tearing his ACL the previous December, though the squad will be without a pair of injured starters for the divisional showdown.

Denver defensive coordinator Vance Joseph voiced expectations that the opposing star passer will remain his usual self on the field. On the other sideline, head coach Sean Payton and starting quarterback Bo Nix will attempt to protect their AFC West title, with Nix also positioned to reach key statistical benchmarks during the prime-time matchup.
