- Kansas City lost 22-19 at Denver on Will Lutz’s time-expiring field goal, moving the Broncos to 9-2 and the Chiefs to 5-5.
- Kelce paced the Chiefs with nine catches for 91 yards and a score, then declined to celebrate the milestone, saying he didn’t want to discuss it after the loss.
- Mahomes finished 29-of-45 for 276 yards with a touchdown and an interception and said responsibility “starts with me,” while Andy Reid pointed to late three-and-outs and self-inflicted mistakes.
