3. Chiefs Blitz: A look at the good, the bad and the ugly from Sunday's loss to the Broncos

"1. Was this a moral victory?
Players and coaches are quick to say there are no such things in football. But let's face it, the season opener left a stink that made it impossible to not to expect the worst. For the Chiefs to come out and even come close to beating the Broncos on Sunday changes the mood around the fan base — and probably the players, too. There is reason for optimism.

That's six starters, and that doesn't even count De'Anthony Thomas, who was ticketed for a large role on offense and special teams.

The Chiefs actually outgained the Broncos — the Broncos! — 380 yards to 325 on Sunday, something that did not seem remotely possible following their season-opening stinker against Tennessee. The game plan was much more effective this week, and that waswithout Charles for most of the game. They got Travis Kelce more involved, they established the running game, and Alex Smith, who completed 26 of 42 passes for 255 yards, seemed much more comfortable." READ MORE…

If the locals came away from Week 1 at Arrowhead Stadium horrified and appalled, they walked away from the television set in Week 2 proud at the guts spilled to and front, buoyed by a relief that this team has enough fire in the belly, enough pride, to play with anyone, anywhere." READ MORE…
