## Resource

The Denver Broncos’ season opener against the Chiefs was a disaster—losing 31-10 with a historically bad defense that missed 28 tackles, surrendering 247 yards after those misses. Offense barely scraped by with just 176 yards and two third-down conversions. Quarterback Bo Nix, returning from injury, struggled mightily—sacked four times, fumbled three, threw two picks, and finished with only 131 yards. With defensive woes continuing from their loss to the Jets and offensive inconsistency, this performance is a major red flag for the Broncos’ playoff hopes.
