KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Kansas City Chiefs haven’t beaten Peyton Manning in four tries since he joined the Broncos. A 17-9 loss at Arrowhead Stadium in 2012 is as close as they have come. That was when they were coached by Romeo Crennel.
More instructive are the two games last season when the Chiefs were coached by Andy Reid. The Chiefs failed to frustrate Manning either time. They had a 21-7 lead during one of the games and things were looking good. Then Manning and the Broncos stepped it up and the Chiefs couldn’t keep up. The Chiefs will have to either slow Manning or outscore him.
Judging from last week’s game against Tennessee, they are in no shape to do either.
My prediction: Broncos 37, Chiefs 20.
