Mahomes' ACL recovery requires run-game support to limit drop-backs vs. Denver's elite pass rush.

Mahomes is playing his first regular-season game since tearing his ACL. The source emphasizes that the Chiefs' offensive strategy must account for his recovery status by establishing the running game to limit his drop-backs and reduce exposure to Denver's elite pass rush (68 sacks last season, NFL-leading). The source states: 'Kansas City cannot allow Denver's pass rush to turn Monday night into a four-quarter assault on Mahomes' and notes that 'the offense must run it effectively enough to keep Denver's defensive front honest' to prevent Mahomes from having to drop back 40 or more times.
