The page devoted to KC Wolf, the team’s mascot, features the dorky, tennis-shoe-clad furball taking out Denver’s own Barrelman with a flying kick.

The shot’s obviously been Photoshopped — because the Barrelman could roll right over that mangy mutt. Like the Broncos need to do over the Chiefs this weekend.
