## Resource

The Chiefs roar back with Mahomes healthy and a loaded roster, aiming for playoff glory after a brutal preseason. Their Week One showdown against the Broncos features a nostalgic twist: former QB Alex Smith, now an ESPN analyst, honored as drum honoree at Arrowhead — a sweet tribute to his legacy and mentorship of Mahomes. With Mahomes throwing for 3,500 yards and 22 TDs last year before injury, the Chiefs are hungry for redemption. Kickoff is Monday night at 8:15 PM ET — and the season’s just getting started.
