A tale of two AFC West teams looking for similar endings in 2026, as the Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos kick off their 2026 schedules on "Monday Night Football."
\n\nKansas City's Patrick Mahomes is back after a knee injury cut his 2025 season short. In Week 15, the Chiefs passer tore his ACL and LCL in a matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. While Mahomes wasn't robbed of much playing time, the Chiefs were eliminated from playoff contention the same day that Mahomes was injured.
\n\nThe Chiefs and their star quarterback hope their 2026 season ends on a sweeter note. That said, they face a tough mountain to climb in the Broncos, both in Week 1 and potentially beyond.
\n\nDenver is facing a similar situation, with the loss of their quarterback potentially prematurely ending their season. Bo Nix suffered a fractured ankle in the Broncos' AFC divisional round victory over the Buffalo Bills, with their season ending a week later in the AFC championship game to the New England Patriots.
\n\nNow, a fully healthy Nix and Denver's dominant defense look to change the ending to their story, while the Chiefs look to pen a new chapter themselves.
