- Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph said, "In my opinion, he wouldn't play if he couldn't be himself." Broncos coach Sean Payton added he is preparing for Mahomes at his best.
- The Chiefs ruled out offensive tackle Josh Simmons and safety Chamarri Conner for Week 1, while defensive tackle Chris Jones is limited with a calf issue despite expectations for Kenneth Walker.
- Facing an NFL-high 131 sacks over the past two seasons, the Chiefs confront a vaunted Denver pass rush; All-Pro pass rusher Nik Bonitto expects "vintage Mahomes" to navigate the pocket.
