What Did We REALLY Learn From the Chiefs' 31-10 Beatdown?

From Arrowhead Addict: A Kansas City Chiefs Podcast FanSided Podcasts

The Chiefs crushed the Broncos 31-10 and Patrick Mahomes didn't have to play Superman.

Sterling Holmes and Josh Brisco break down what was REAL and what might be a Week 1 mirage after Kansas City's dominant opener. From Kenneth Walker and a completely different rushing attack to the Chiefs' impressive defensive line depth, Kahlil Benson holding his own, L'Jarius Sneed looking like his old self and Eric Bieniemy's early impact, there was plenty to love. But what should we make of the quiet wide receivers, Xavier Worthy's struggles and another ugly special teams performance?

The Chiefs are 1-0. Now it's time to figure out which parts of this new-look team are here to stay.
