Heavy is the head that wears the crown. It is Patrick Mahomes<\/a> and the two-time defending champion Kansas City Chiefs\u2019 world, and the rest of the NFL world is just living in it. That much is clear when, even as they head into an offseason with work to do, rivals like the Denver Broncos<\/a> are talking about catching up during their season-ending press conferences.<\/p>\n

Greg Penner stirred the pot during his season-ending presser, noting how close his Broncos \u2013 which he purchased in 2022 \u2013 were to being 2-0 versus the Chiefs this season.<\/p>\n

The Chiefs won the first meeting in Week 10, blocking Broncos kicker Wil Lutz<\/a>\u2019s field goal try.<\/p>\n

The Broncos won the second game in Week 18, and the Chiefs\u2019 decision to rest their starters certainly played a big part in that. Still, asked if he had Mahomes and the Chiefs in his sights, Penner spoke candidly.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cAbsolutely<\/a>,\u201d Penner told reporters on January 15. \u201cWe could\u2019ve very easily been 2-0 against the Chiefs this year, and our absolute going next year is to win in our division.\u201d<\/p>\n
