The Broncos are trending because Denver lost 31-10 to the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday night, while a separate report says Drew Brees considered coming out of retirement to play for Denver in last season’s AFC Championship Game. The loss drew attention as Patrick Mahomes made a winning return from knee surgery. Kenneth Walker III was another major focus: on his Chiefs debut, he ran for 173 yards and scored two touchdowns, helping Kansas City beat Denver comfortably.
The Brees story centers on discussions rather than an actual comeback. According to ESPN, sources said Broncos assistant coaches spoke with the former star quarterback about returning to play for Denver in that AFC title game. Together, the coverage puts the Broncos in two distinct news stories: their latest defeat against Kansas City and a reported effort to explore an unexpected quarterback option during last season’s playoff run.
