Overview
- The Denver Broncos erased an 11-point deficit to beat the Kansas City Chiefs 28-24 in a comeback capped by two fourth-quarter touchdown drives and a two-point conversion.
- Nix completed 20 of 32 passes for 222 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions as he engineered the decisive scoring that gave him his 15th career game-winning drive.
- Sunday’s win, which moved Denver to 6-2 and atop the AFC West, made Nix the first quarterback in NFL history to reach 15 fourth-quarter or overtime game-winning drives within his first three seasons.
- The final play ended when defensive tackle Malcolm Roach sacked Patrick Mahomes on fourth-and-goal at the 1-yard line to preserve the Broncos’ lead.
- Postgame audio captured Nix telling Mahomes he was “scared to death” when Kansas City got the ball back, and former scout John Middlekauff renewed criticism of Nix’s pocket play and inconsistent early‑game performance that Denver’s defense has partly masked.
