Around eight months ago, Bo Nix and Patrick Mahomes both saw their 2025 seasons come to a disappointing end after each going down with an injury. Their respective path back to contention begins Monday night.
The Chiefs and Broncos will meet in the final game of Week 1, playing on "Monday Night Football" with Mahomes appearing on track to make his official return from a torn ACL suffered last December. The Chiefs, after missing the playoffs for the first time in the Mahomes era last year, added Kenneth Walker to their backfield as their big move of the offseason
Nix and the Broncos, meanwhile, also have a shiny new weapon in wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, looking to ride the momentum of last year's AFC Championship Game berth into 2026.
