Chiefs vs. Broncos prediction
01:52 PM ET, November 1 2026, John DillonThe Kansas City Chiefs will look to recover from last week's brutal loss to the Seattle Seahawks on 'Sunday Night Football.'
Week 7 made it clear that running back Kenneth Walker, not quarterback Patrick Mahomes, is the key to the Chiefs' offense this season. The Seahawks' defense stuffed Walker from the start, which shut down any meaningful passing attack. The reigning Super Bowl MVP should have an easier time this week against the Broncos' front seven. If Walker can keep establishing the run as he has through the season’s first five games, Mahomes will have plenty of chances to air it out.
Kansas City's secondary struggled last week, allowing quarterback Sam Darnold to throw for over 250 yards. Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo has always made lemonade from limes with the depth in his defensive backfields, but this season might be a little different for the four-time Super Bowl champion. The Chiefs' secondary must figure out how to replace defensive backs Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson, and fast.
Final score: Chiefs 30, Broncos 20
