## Resource

Chiefs face a brutal Week 1 lineup shakeup as star left tackle Josh Simmons’ back injury threatens his availability, forcing rookie Kahlil Benson into the starting role to protect Mahomes against Denver’s fearsome pass rush. Meanwhile, safety Chamarri Conner’s knee absence pushes Alohi Gilman into a bigger role, adding pressure on an already thin secondary. With key starters sidelined and rookies stepping up, the Chiefs’ season opener hinges on resilience under fire. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
