## Resource

Kansas City Chiefs gear up for Week 1 with major questions looming around their emerging strengths and untested weaknesses. Can Patrick Mahomes thrive behind an offensive line tasked with keeping him upright, especially with the spotlight on a revitalized running game featuring Ken Walker and Emmitt Johnson? The Chiefs’ approach to pounding the ball against the Denver Broncos could set the tone for the season—will Andy Reid finally commit to the ground attack? The conversation explores the uncertainty in the secondary, with attention on Legerius Sneed’s role in the slot and the impact of safety Alohi Gilman’s availability. Defensive wild cards like rookie speed rusher R Mason Thomas could disrupt Bo Nix and the Broncos’ offense, but will Kansas City’s defense generate enough takeaways to tip the scales? With Xavier Worthy poised as a potential breakout candidate, all eyes are on the Chiefs’ ability to adapt their playbook and seize early momentum.
