Overview
- Wil Lutz hit a 35-yard field goal as time expired to finish Denver’s 22-19 victory, which followed Ja'Quan McMillian’s interception and an 11-play, 89-yard touchdown drive earlier in the second half.
- Sean Payton was flagged 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct after colliding with linesman Derick Bowers, and the league is expected to review the incident for possible discipline.
- Denver moved to 9-2 with its eighth straight win, buoyed by a defense with 49 sacks through Week 11 that is pacing to challenge team and NFL single-season marks.
- The Chiefs fell to 0-5 in one-score games this year and went 1-for-4 in the red zone against Denver as penalties, special teams lapses and a sputtering run game continued to undercut the offense.
- Andy Reid emphasized fundamentals and a one-day-at-a-time approach as Kansas City prepares to host the 8-2 Colts, with head-to-head tiebreakers against the Chargers, Jaguars and Bills complicating the playoff path.
