Denver Beats Kansas City
By Tad Schemmel

Could Denver's victory over Kansas City be a sign of things to come? Sunday's outcome could have implications for the future of both teams. Denver was able to take care of the ball, limiting turnovers on their way to the win. Despite some flashes of effectiveness, Kansas City struggled to consistently move the ball all day.

Von Miller showed that he has what it takes to fit into Denver's new dynamic. He said after the game, "I thought the coaching staff put us in a position to be successful. We just went out there and executed the gameplan." Von Miller needs to be careful not to look past next week's opponent. Their upcoming match-up will be nationally televised in prime time, a classic trap game.

Jamal Charles appeared unfocused at times, and often appeared confused by what Denver threw at him. "It's disappointing," he said after the game. "We left it all out there on the field and just fell short," he added. Jamal Charles needs to learn to play within himself for his team to find success. He just needs to go out there and do what he's asked to do and no more.

Kansas City is just playing as bunch of individuals and not as a team. They clearly need to get on the same sheet of music. On defense, Kansas City needs to get creative and dial up more blitzes to keep opposing offenses on their heels. The offense's performance was also less than inspiring, stalling numerous times in opponent territory.

As for Denver, they just need to keep up their momentum heading into next week. Both Denver and Kansas City know will need to make ajustments to beat quality teams. You could feel the electricity in the stadium from kickoff to the final whistle. It was a game for the ages.
