The Chiefs are set to play the Broncos at 3:25 p.m. at Empower Field at Mile High. The weather report looks rough for this game, with up to a foot of snow expected. That is not exactly the best conditions for someone battling the flu.

Michael Jordan’s flu game was a historic performance so maybe Patrick Mahomes can deliver his own against the Denver defense.

If Mahomes takes a downswing with his health, Blaine Gabbert would be the backup that takes over under center.
