Patrick Surtain II previews Broncos matchup against Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes

Denver Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II stated he expects Patrick Mahomes to remain a major threat as the Chiefs prepare for their September 14 game at Arrowhead Stadium. Mahomes is scheduled to return to action nine months after sustaining torn ACL and LCL ligaments in his left knee during a December game against the Los Angeles Chargers. While Mahomes has cleared football work since July, the Chiefs have yet to confirm if they will limit his scrambling or shift him to a traditional pocket-passing role. Surtain noted that the Broncos defense continues to prepare for Mahomes' typical skill set despite the potential scheme adjustments by the Kansas City coaching staff. This Monday night game marks the fourth meeting between Mahomes and Denver quarterback Bo Nix, with both players working back from significant injuries.
