Key Points:
- The NFL announced that the Denver Broncos will open the new season with a Week 1 Monday Night Football game against the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium, prompting backlash from Broncos fans.
- Broncos supporters expressed outrage, feeling the team deserved a home opener after winning the AFC West and sweeping the Chiefs last season, despite the league’s standard scheduling practices.
- The article argues that only the reigning Super Bowl champion is guaranteed a home opener, and many division winners have started on the road in recent years, including the Chiefs and Rams.
- The author suggests that playing at Arrowhead could be advantageous for the Broncos, especially if Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is unavailable, and having the second divisional game at home is beneficial.
- The piece criticizes Broncos fans for their perceived entitlement and frustration over a situation that is not a slight and may actually work in their favor.
