Summary
Patrick Mahomes returns to start for the Chiefs against the Broncos just nine months after his ACL tear, raising alarms about his recovery and the protection he’ll get — especially from left tackle Josh Simmons, who’s sidelined by injury and uses a risky “snatch technique” that could endanger Mahomes’ legs. Former tackle Mitchell Schwartz has publicly warned against it, noting Mahomes will likely stay in the pocket more this season. Meanwhile, with the Chiefs prioritizing defense, the offense’s success — and their Super Bowl hopes — now rests heavily on Simmons and rookie Rashee Rice.
