What happened: Troy Renck argues that Patrick Mahomes has struggled in his last three matchups against Denver. He also credits Bo Nix with outplaying Mahomes in Kansas City in 2024 and performing well in prime time.

Why it matters: The Broncos' opening matchup against the Chiefs puts an AFC West result on the line immediately.

What to watch: Watch whether Nix can turn the individual advantage Renck describes into a Denver win. ABC and ESPN carry the game, according to the [Broncos' viewing guide](https://www.denverbroncos.com/news/denver-broncos-at-kansas-city-chiefs-how-to-watch-listen-and-live-stream-the-broncos-week-1-game).
