The Denver Broncos overcame a 24-13 fourth-quarter deficit to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs 28-24 in an AFC West clash.
The Denver Broncos defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 28-24 on Sunday at Mile High Stadium in a critical AFC West showdown. Trailing 24-13 in the third quarter, Denver scored twice in the fourth quarter to take the lead. Bo Nix threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to tight end Nate Adkins and found Jaylen Waddle for a two-point conversion to cut the deficit to three points. After Harrison Butker missed a 54-yard field goal, the Broncos took the lead when rookie running back Jonah Coleman scored from 5 yards out.
Patrick Mahomes put together a strong performance for Kansas City with 321 passing yards and three touchdowns, whilst Rashee Rice returned from a hamstring injury to score an 11-yard touchdown reception. The Chiefs drove down the field in the final seconds with help from a 32-yard catch by Travis Kelce and runs by Kenneth Walker III, reaching the Denver 5-yard line with under a minute remaining.
A false start penalty on right tackle Jaylon Moore wiped out what would have been the winning touchdown pass on the final drive. Forced to replay the down, Mahomes was sacked by Malcolm Roach, ending the game. Bo Nix finished 20 of 32 for 222 yards with two touchdowns for Denver. Kansas City was flagged 11 times for 105 yards in the defeat. The loss gives Denver a half-game advantage in the AFC West standings.
