Overview
- The Broncos rallied from an 11-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Chiefs 28-24 on Sunday, with Bo Nix engineering two late touchdown drives and rookie Jonah Coleman running in the game-winner after a Harrison Butker miss.
- A false-start penalty on right tackle Jaylon Moore wiped out what looked like a game-winning score for Kansas City, and Malcolm Roach sacked Patrick Mahomes on the replayed fourth-and-goal to end the game.
- The loss drops the Chiefs to 5-2 and hands Denver a 6-2 mark and control of the AFC West, a shift that increases scrutiny on Kansas City’s late-game decisions, long-range kicking and pass‑catching depth.
- Baltimore’s Week 8 shocker came in Buffalo when Lamar Jackson injured his throwing thumb on the opening play, will require surgery, was placed on injured reserve and forced emergency third-string Joe Fagnano into relief after Tyler Huntley also exited.
- The game highlighted two league trends: rookie playmakers like Jonah Coleman and Emmett Johnson are emerging as game-changers, and late-game execution plus sudden injuries are reshaping short-term playoff outlooks and roster moves.
