The Patrick Mahomes Show continues on Monday night!

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs take their perfect record to Mile High Stadium on Monday Night Football. Will Mahomes continue his MVP-like start to the season? Or will Von Miller make his night miserable?

Follow along with us as we keep track of the winners and losers throughout this AFC West matchup.

Winner: Case Keenum looking like his 2017 self

Not many expected journeyman Case Keenum to follow up his career-best 2017 with another season quite that good. So far in his stint with the Broncos, he’s been less like Vikings QB Keenum and closer to Rams QB Keenum.

He hasn’t been bad necessarily ... just mediocre, something the Broncos are all too familiar with when it comes to quarterbacks.

Maybe some of it is because the Chiefs’ worst-ranked secondary is really missing Eric Berry, but Keenum is playing his best game of the season Monday night:

And check out this surprise jump ball on fourth down:

Keenum has been a #gamemanager for most of the night, but it’s been enough to give the Broncos a 13-10 lead at halftime.

Loser: The Mahomes-Kelce connection

No one has been targeted on more of Mahomes’ fastballs this season than tight end Travis Kelce, who entered Week 4 with a team-leading 16 catches. His 229 receiving yards and two touchdown receptions were second on the Chiefs, behind Tyreek Hill.

So far Monday night, Kelce’s connection with his quarterback is off. He was targeted three times in the first half, with zero catches. One pass hit Kelce in the hands, but was thrown behind him as Mahomes faced heavy pressure from the Denver pass rush.

Loser: Anthony Hitchens gets taken for a ride in the end zone

First, let’s give a little praise to Royce Freeman, who showed patience and then a whole lot of power on this touchdown run.

But poor Chiefs linebacker Anthony Hitches, who got dragged along as Freeman scored:

The Chiefs came into this game with the worst defense in the league. That’s not helping their case.

Winner: Patrick Mahomes’ ... legs?

If Mahomes is known for one thing, it’s his rocket launcher of an arm that had him leading the NFL in touchdown passes even before Monday night’s game. The Denver defense hasn’t made his night very easy, putting him under more pressure than he’s used to and forcing him to make quick throws.

But on third-and-goal, he used the Broncos’ pressure to his advantage, running (!) in the first touchdown of the game:

It was also the first rushing touchdown of his career, though it’s something he did fairly often at Texas Tech.

Winner: Kareem Hunt is alive!

With Mahomes and the Chiefs’ No. 1 ranked passing offense, Kareem Hunt came into this game as a forgotten piece of the offense. Hunt, who led the league in rushing last season, made his presence felt on the Chiefs’ first drive of the game.

On fourth-and-inches from their own 43-yard line, Hunt barreled through to get 2 yards and the first down. On the next play, Mahomes found him for a 27-yard gain, punctuated by Hunt trucking some dude:

Kareem gained 33 yards on the drive. Alas, for the first time all season, KC didn’t score a touchdown on its opening drive. But at least Hunt got involved again.

At the start of the second quarter, Hunt dropped a pass ... and then on the next play, immediately did this:

Loser: Garett Bolles is not having a good start

After holding the Chiefs to a field goal, the Broncos had a chance to retake the lead on their second possession. But then on second-and-4, Justin Houston beat left tackle Garett Bolles and sacked Case Keenum for a 7-yard loss.

On the next play, Bolles was called for holding and the Broncos had to punt, to dangerous return man Tyreek Hill. 37 yards later, the Chiefs started in Denver territory.

Winner: Brandon McManus gives the Chiefs their first deficit of the season

On the Broncos’ first drive of the game, McManus drilled a 42-yard field. Doesn’t seem that special, right? But it did give the Broncos a 3-0 lead, making it the first time the Chiefs have trailed all season:

Then McManus hit another field goal right before halftime to give the Chiefs their first halftime deficit of the season.

Game preview

The Kansas City Chiefs haven’t been great on defense going into their Monday Night Football matchup against the rival Denver Broncos, but Patrick Mahomes has had little issue keeping his team on top through three games this season. The Chiefs will travel to Mile High to face the Broncos beginning at 8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN (live streaming via WatchESPN).

Mahomes has thrown for 896 yards, 13 touchdowns and no interceptions in three games this season. He’s completed 66.7 percent of his passes, and has been assisted by a decent but not-great running game. Mahomes shredded the Chargers for four touchdowns, the Steelers for six touchdowns, and dumped three of them on the 49ers in their last outing.

The Broncos are 2-1 on the season, with one-score wins over the Seahawks and Raiders in their first two games, and a 27-14 loss at the hands of the Ravens in their last game. Monday’s game will be Denver’s third home game of the season, with the other two being wins.

Chiefs vs. Broncos news

• The biggest injury news for Denver is the loss of tight end Jake Butt, who was placed on injured reserve. The team signed Brian Parker, another tight end, off their practice squad in a corresponding move.
• Another issue for Denver is the thigh injury to Tramaine Brock, as he is listed as doubtful for Monday’s game. Adam Jones and Dymonte Thomas are also injures and listed as questionable.
• For the Chiefs, the biggest concern is the absence of Eric Berry, who has a bone spur that is digging into his Achilles, and he’s been inactive thus far this season. Berry is officially doubtful for Monday.
• Aside from Berry, the Chiefs are relatively healthy, however. Berry is the only player listed as doubtful on the final injury report, and Kansas City has nobody listed as questionable.
• If the Broncos are going to have any chance against the Chiefs, they absolutely have to uncork the offense early and often.
• Peep the five questions with the enemy post on Mile High Report, and then the one from Arrowhead Pride.
• Denver will be wearing the all-blue uniforms against the Chiefs.
• The Chiefs are rolling. The Broncos are not, but Monday’s game is a huge opportunity for them to make a statement.
• Case Keenum hasn’t been playing great for the Broncos (he’s not getting much help, to be fair), but head coach Vance Joseph isn’t worried about his interceptions thus far.
• Former Chiefs star Tony Gonzalez thinks Patrick Mahomes will break the single-season touchdown record.
