Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 2 Nov, 01:38 · Archive

Malcolm Roach sacked Patrick Mahomes on the final play as Denver came from behind to beat Kansas City 28-24.

Malcolm Roach sacked Patrick Mahomes on fourth-and-goal on the final play Sunday, securing Denver's 28-24 comeback win over Kansas City and vaulting the Broncos into first place in the AFC West. The Broncos (6-2) had trailed 24-13 in the third quarter.

Bo Nix threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to tight end Nate Adkins and found Jaylen Waddle for the two-point conversion to pull Denver to 24-21. Kansas City kicker Harrison Butker then missed a 54-yard field goal attempt in steady rain. The Broncos needed just two plays and 35 seconds to take the lead. Nix hit rookie running back Jonah Coleman for a 51-yard gain and Coleman scored from five yards out, putting Denver ahead 28-24 with one minute 56 seconds remaining.

The Chiefs (5-2) responded quickly, with a 32-yard catch by Travis Kelce and runs by Kenneth Walker III helping them reach the Denver 1-yard line with less than a minute left. Walker's 3-yard run on first-and-goal put the ball at the 1, but Mahomes threw incomplete on second down, Walker was stuffed on third-and-goal and Mahomes was sacked on fourth down. Nix finished 20 of 32 for 222 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions.
