The Denver Broncos are about to cross swords with an offense ranked No. 5 in scoring and No. 3 in total yards. Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are headed to Empower Field at Mile High for a showdown on Thursday Night Football. 

Meanwhile, the Broncos are fielding the 26th scoring offense ranked 25th in total yards. While Chiefs and the Broncos appear to be polar opposites offensively, there is a model to defeating the reigning AFC West champions. 

On a short week, offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello laid out what the Broncos focus will be, what he sees as the keys to victory, without necessarily giving away the keys to the kingdom.
