With the offseason and preseason in the books, Week 1 has already brought plenty of fireworks. When the Kansas City Chiefs square off against the Denver Broncos, there may be even more to cap off the start of a new campaign.

Coming off a 6-11 effort a year ago, head coach Andy Reid's group has every incentive to rebound now. Setting the appropriate tone on the Monday Night Football stage would be a massive step in the right direction. Sean Payton's Broncos won 14 games and may have been an unfortunate injury away from a Super Bowl berth, however, so achieving a victory — even at home — will be no easy feat.

Here's everything you need to know and how you can follow along with the Chiefs as they square off against the Broncos tonight.
