Fox Sports’ Nick Wright offered his “congratulations” to the Denver Broncos on their trade for Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson.

Wright’s good wishes included this funny swipe at the Broncos for “going from having the 4th best quarterback in the AFC West… to having the 3rd best quarterback in the AFC West.”

Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas tweeted: “I appreciate Denver making the AFC West more interesting with the Russell Wilson move.

Still not worried.”

Do other Chiefs fans share the mayor’s confidence now that the Broncos added a quarterback who has led 24 fourth-quarter comebacks and has a 9-7 career playoff record?

What do you think? Will the Chiefs’ streak of six straight AFC West titles come to an end? Or are the Broncos, who haven’t won the division (or beaten KC) since 2015, still not a threat?
