The Chiefs dominated the Broncos 31-10, but Price Carter and Christian Ainsworth are digging into what the Week 1 win actually tells us about Kansas City's ceiling. The guys break down Kenneth Walker transforming the running game, a young Chiefs defense that suddenly looks capable of becoming one of the NFL's best, and why Patrick Mahomes no longer has to carry this team by himself.
