Broncos-Chiefs: Trap Game? Not This Time

Flashback to week four, where the Denver Broncos were the fashionable bandwagon sitting at 3-0, about to face the lowly Chiefs. 

Denver should have coasted, and won, as I foolishly predicted by 40 or more points.  However, Kansas City showed up to play, despite the fact that they were 0-3, and the Broncos were absolutely stunned as the Chiefs handed them a 33-19 loss.

The Chiefs (2-10) have been awful this season, ranking 32nd in total defense, 30th in points allowed, and in the bottom ten of nearly all offensive categories (rushing:  12th).

However, the Broncos are going to approach their home game against the Chiefs as though they are playing a 10-2 squad.

Why?

The Broncos have lost three straight home games this season, the worst streak they have had in recent years. 

As Henry Gula earlier reported, it seems as though the Broncos grow complacent whenever they beat a good team and face a crappy one the following week. 

Well, Broncos:  The third time is the charm. 

Not only can Denver all but lock up the division on Sunday, but they could get some sweet revenge against the team that stole their momentum early this season. 

They can do this by game-planning for Peyton Hillis to tote the rock thirty times. 

The Chiefs have the league's 31st ranked rush defense, but they have forced a ton of turnovers.  Don't expect quarterback Jay Cutler to throw it 40 times like he did against the Jets last week.

So is this a trap game for Denver?

This guy says not a chance, especially because of what happened when they decided they were better than the Chiefs and Raiders earlier this season.
