CAN COURTLAND SUTTON AND MARVIN MIMS JR. TAKE ADVANTAGE?
Courtland Sutton and Marvin Mims Jr. combined for 13 catches for 158 yards and three touchdowns in Week 17 against the Bengals, and the Broncos’ leading receivers could make another big impact on Sunday.
Kansas City ruled out cornerback Jaylen Watson — who remains on injured reserve — while listing starting cornerback Trent McDuffie and starting safety Justin Reid as doubtful for the game.
Sutton sits just 17 yards away from his second 1,000-yard season as a pro, and the Broncos would surely benefit from him having a standout afternoon. He has 11 games with at least 50 receiving yards this season, and only Justin Jefferson, Ja’Marr Chase, Malik Nabers, Drake London and CeeDee Lamb have more such games this year.
Mims, meanwhile, has lined up all over the field for the Broncos — and made a Pro Bowl-worthy impact as a returner as well. If Mims can follow up the best performance of his career with another strong showing on Sunday, Denver could help use chunk plays to put away the Chiefs.
“At first, they kind of started me off little by little with the running back stuff and then now it’s growing as the season goes along,” Mims said Thursday. “Honestly, it’s just memorization for the most part. We go out here on the practice field and they see things they like [as well as] they see things they don’t like. Things change over time, but at the end of the day, it’s just memorization [with] receiver, running back and return stuff. It’s really just being a playmaker and making plays [in] a certain situation. It’s never just picture perfect. At the end of the day, you just have to take what’s there.”
If Sutton and Mims can grab hold of those opportunities, Denver could be poised to find offensive success.
