The hope here is Wentz balls out playing for a contract, Brown plays a lot trying to get up to speed, and their D bottles up Denver's O pretty well even with mostly reserves. They crushed Pitt w/out Jones. Maybe Nix gets a little tight, especially if KC grab a lead early.
Last year they won against the 5-12 Chargers who had Easton Stick (real person, I swear I didn't just make a name up) starting at QB with an interim HC.
The other W is 2017... when Patrick Mahomes WAS the backup QB so the Chiefs still had Patrick Mahomes starting, and the other team's QB was Paxton Lynch on a 5-11 team.
So I think just saying 2-2 is pretty misleading when it comes to them playing a potential 10-win team with their starting QB and Wentz is certainly not Mahomes sitting on the bench.
