Overview

  • Sean Payton said Denver planned to take a delay and kick on fourth-and-2 before Chiefs lineman Chris Jones jumped offsides, setting up Bo Nix’s 1-yard touchdown to RJ Harvey with 1:45 left.
  • Nix went 26-of-38 for 182 yards with one touchdown and one interception and added 42 rushing yards with a 9-yard score.
  • The Broncos controlled the ball for roughly 39 minutes and held Kansas City to about 139 total yards on 42 plays.
  • Third-string quarterback Chris Oladokun started for the injury-hit Chiefs, throwing for 66 yards and a touchdown before Kansas City’s final drive stalled near the edge of the red zone with 14 seconds remaining.
  • Denver improved to 13-3 with its 11th one-score win, tying the NFL single-season record, and can clinch the AFC West if the Chargers lose to the Texans or in Week 18 against Los Angeles if necessary.
