Can the Broncos Shock the Chiefs (and John’s Wallet)?

John and the Captain are back, and they're bringing all the misery of an 8-2 record with them. This week, we dissect the pathetic, penalty-ridden "full diaper" of a game against the Raiders, trying to figure out if this team is the 2015 Super Bowl champions in disguise or just a hot mess in orange and blue. We look ahead to the pivotal Chiefs game, debate the Broncos' identity crisis, and John drops a confession that will rock Broncos Country to its core.
