    Weather forecast: 82 degrees farenheit, clear skies 15 mph South winds

    Line: Chiefs (-3), Over/Under: 42
    Trends:
    The Chiefs Are 0-0 at home
    The Chiefs Are 1-0 ATS as favorite

    The Broncos are 0-0 on the road
    The Broncos are 0-0 ATS as underdog

    Quick Hitters:
    Chiefs: Alex Smith could be first in Chiefs history
    Alex Smith had 3 TD and no interceptions in Week 1. No QB in Chiefs history has ever started a season with back-to-back games with 3 Pass TD and no interceptions. Smith had back-to-back 3 TD, no Int games in Weeks 3 and 4 last season.

    Broncos: Can Broncos handle the Chiefs pass rush? Kansas City had five sacks in Week 1, four of which came with 4 or fewer pass rushers. The four sacks with 4 or fewer pass rushers were tied for the most by any team in Week 1.

    Notable Quotables:
    Chiefs:
    "We're more balanced. I think we have a lot of weapons, a lot of guys who can do multiple things so I think that presents a lot of different problems for defenses." -- Chiefs QB Alex Smith

    Broncos: "We're beat up. That was a physical game (Sunday)." -- Broncos Coach Gary Kubiak

    ESPN Game Preview:

    Although it hasn't come without doubts, the Denver Broncos' transformation is off to a positive start.

    After Peyton Manning's latest performance raised more question marks, the Broncos look to continue their dominance of AFC West teams in Thursday night's showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.

    With Manning failing to throw a touchdown pass and averaging a meager 4.4 yards per attempt, Denver relied on defense and the kicking game to open the Gary Kubiak era with a hard-earned 19-13 home win over Baltimore. Brandon McManus made four field goals -- two from beyond 55 yards -- and the Broncos limited the Ravens to 173 yards while coming up with two huge second-half interceptions of Joe Flacco.

    Aqib Talib returned the first 51 yards for a go-ahead touchdown late in the third quarter and Darian Stewart sealed the win with an interception at the goal line with 28 seconds left.

    Still, the postgame focus was on Manning, whose 175 passing yards marked the third time in six games he was held to fewer than 200. The five-time NFL MVP hasn't engineered a touchdown in 21 drives counting the preseason.

    "Everybody's looking for these summaries of our offense and our team after Week 1. I just don't think you're able to do that," Manning said. "We're a work in progress."

    Manning passed for 179 yards at Kansas City on Nov. 30, but threw two touchdowns and the Broncos rushed for 214 yards in a 29-16 victory that extended their series winning streak to six. Denver, winner of four straight at Arrowhead, is 17-1 against division opponents since Manning's arrival in 2012.

    C.J. Anderson ran for a career-high 168 yards that day but mustered 29 on 12 carries against Baltimore while hampered by ankle and toe injuries. He's expected to play Thursday, as is Demaryius Thomas after the standout wide receiver briefly exited the opener with a sore hand.

    Stewart (groin) and Omar Bolden (foot) sat out Monday's practice, though fellow safety T.J. Ward returns after being suspended for Week 1.

    "We're beat up," Kubiak said. "That was a physical game (Sunday)."

    The Chiefs were held to 151 yards at Kansas City last year and finished 25th in total offense in 2014. The unit appeared improved in the opener, however, as Alex Smith threw three first-half touchdown passes and the Chiefs were penalized just twice in a 27-20 victory at Houston.

    Travis Kelce had two touchdown catches and amassed 106 yards on six catches, while offseason addition Jeremy Maclin added five receptions for 52 yards to support 103 yards from scrimmage from running back Jamaal Charles.

    "We're more balanced," said Smith, who was 22 for 33 for 243 yards. "I think we have a lot of weapons, a lot of guys who can do multiple things so I think that presents a lot of different problems for defenses."

    Charles wasn't much of a factor against the Broncos last season, missing most of Denver's 24-17 home win that Sept. 14 with a sprained ankle and producing 35 yards on 10 rushes in the most recent meeting.

    Of perhaps greater concern for Denver is a Kansas City defense that recorded five sacks in Week 1. Manning was sacked four times by the Ravens -- his highest total since his memorable return to Indianapolis on Oct. 20, 2013 -- while operating behind a line that's replaced four starters from last season.

    Allen Bailey had two sacks against the Texans and Justin Houston, the NFL leader with 22 last season, has at least one in seven straight games.

    The Chiefs enter Thursday with a small controversy of their own amid allegations that right tackle and 2013 No. 1 overall pick Eric Fisher asked out of the opener to avoid a matchup with Texans All-Pro end J.J. Watt. Fisher, who was dealing with a high ankle sprain and is questionable for the game, was active but replaced by Jah Reid.

    Coach Andy Reid vehemently denied the accusations, telling reporters Monday is was his decision to sit Fisher out.

    "I know things are out there. That's ridiculous," Reid said. "I was the one that watched him practice. I thought if I put him out there, I'd put him in a terrible situation."

    Scouting Report from the Kansas City Star:

    BY TEREZ A. PAYLOR
    tpaylor@kcstar.com

    When the Chiefs run

    EDGE >>
    BRONCOS
    The Texans managed to keep Jamaal Charles in check on Sunday, and the Chiefs schemed around the Texans’ strategy with quick-hitting passes to the backs in the flat that served as an extension of the running game. The Chiefs’ offensive line is still developing chemistry — the opener was the first game the starting five has played together — so they may need to do more of the quick passes against a stout Denver front that held the Baltimore Ravens to 73 yards in 23 carries.


    When the Chiefs pass

    EDGE >>
    BRONCOS
    The Chiefs’ passing game looked outstanding last week, as quarterback Alex Smith completed 22 of 33 passes for 243 yards and three touchdowns. What’s more, while Smith was sacked twice last week, the Chiefs only allowed four quarterback hits against a strong Texans pass rush. Denver, however, poses a problem. They boast one of the league’s best cornerback duos in Aqib Talib and Chris Harris Jr. and their pass rush recorded two sacks and nine quarterback hits against the Ravens. Von Miller and DeMarcus Ware, the Broncos’ elite edge-rush tandem, did most of the damage, but the Broncos also have two young pass rushers who can come in and pinch hit in Shaquil Barrett and former Mizzou star Shane Ray. Interior linemen Antonio Smith and Malik Jackson can get after the passer as well, which means the Chiefs’ offensive line will have its hands full.


    When the Broncos run

    EDGE >> CHIEFS
    The running game is the staple of Denver coach Gary Kubiak’s offense, but the Broncos struggled to get much going against the Ravens, as Ronnie Hillman and C.J. Anderson split 24 carries evenly for 70 yards. Meanwhile, the Chiefs — who were gashed against the run at times last year — looked much better against the Texans. The return of inside linebacker Derrick Johnson and defensive end Mike DeVito was huge, as was the return of Pro Bowl nose tackle Dontari Poe, who underwent back surgery in July.


    When the Broncos pass

    EDGE >> CHIEFS
    Peyton Manning is 13-1 against the Chiefs in his career, but he looked mortal against the Ravens, as he was sacked four times and hit five more. The Chiefs, meanwhile, racked up five sacks and four quarterback hits against the Texans, so they should be able to generate enough pressure to disrupt Manning. He still has his fair share of weapons, however, and one of them — receiver Demaryius Thomas — has tortured the Chiefs over the last few years with his size (6 feet 3, 229 pounds) and ball skills. Fellow receiver Emmanuel Sanders is diminutive (5-11, 180) but is a super-tough cover because of his savvy and quick feet. Look for Manning, whose accuracy fell off on deep-to-intermediate routes against Baltimore, to attack the Chiefs’ young corners on short routes and bunch formations.


    Special teams

    EDGE >> CHIEFS
    The Chiefs’ special teams were on point against the Texans. The Chiefs won the battle of field position, thanks to the efforts of punter Dustin Colquitt (four punts inside the 20) and punt returner DeAnthony Thomas (16.2-yard average), while kicker Cairo Santos has shown significant improve on kickoffs, drilling all six for touchbacks. Santos made two of three field goals, while Denver’s Brandon McManus went four for four. So Denver probably has the edge in the kicking game, but the Chiefs have the edge in the return and punting categories.


    Coaching

    EDGE >> CHIEFS
    Andy Reid has a career record of 151-105-1 in 17 years as a coach, while Denver’s Gary Kubiak is 61-64 in his ninth year. The Broncos have won the division the last four years, but the staff that led the charge — spearheaded by coach John Fox, who now coaches the Chicago Bears — is no longer around. Meanwhile, the Chiefs are entering their third straight year with the same coaching staff. Continuity is important in football, and they have it.


    X-factor

    EDGE >> CHIEFS
    The Chiefs are opening the Arrowhead Stadium parking lots at 2:30 p.m. This is the Chiefs’ first primetown showdown of the year, and it’s against an arch rival. By the way, this will mark Eric Berry’s first regular-season home game since he defeated Hodgkin lymphoma this offseason, and inside linebacker Derrick Johnson has a good chance of setting the team’s career tackle record on his home field. The place will be rocking.


    Bottom line: Chiefs 27-16
    The Broncos are chasing history, as they can set the NFL record for consecutive division road victories with 13. But a more important number is zero — Chiefs coach Andy Reid’s victories against Denver since 2013. Chances are Reid has saved up some of his best stuff for this game, and that — plus a hungry defense and a juiced-up crowd — should be enough to finally end the Chiefs’ struggles against the Broncos.

    This might be a game where we need to throw deep early and often to open up JC and the running game. GO CHIEFS!
