Chris Harris Jr. and the Denver Broncos have their work cut out for them in Week 4. That's right, the red-hot Kansas City Chiefs and surging quarterback Patrick Mahomes are going to be a tough test. The Broncos know they are in for a tough game, especially on the defensive side of the football against one of the league's most high-profile offenses.
Speaking to Zach Pereles of DenverBroncos.com, Harris talked about wanting to be in “attack mode” this week against Mahomes and the Chiefs.
“We always want to be an attacking football team here. That’s our motto here. It’s been like that ever since I’ve been here. It’s always what we’ve done: just be in attack mode, not sit back; be aggressive and give him different looks. That’s what we’ve got to do. We’ve got to try to confuse him and give him something he hasn’t seen. [Chiefs head coach] Andy Reid’s played against us a lot of times, so we’ve got to try to change it up, try to trick him a couple of times.”
Harris went on to talk about the Broncos' defense and how they feel they have plenty to show fans on Monday night.

[Defensive Coordinator] Joe Woods has called some great calls, and we didn’t execute. … We’ve got to execute it and do our job to the best of our ability.”
Speaking about Mahomes, the second-year quarterback is on track to win the NFL MVP award if he keeps playing the way he has so far this year. He has completed 66.7 percent of his pass attempts for 896 yards, 13 touchdowns, and no interceptions. Mahomes has also run for 46 yards, although that hasn't been needed much yet.
Denver's defense used to be one of the most lethal defenses in the NFL. This year, they are currently ranked No. 12 in overall defense.
Whenever these two teams meet, good football is played. That should not be any different this week.
