Yahoo Sports • • general

Key Points:

  • The Denver Broncos secured a dramatic 28-24 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs with a goal-line stand in the final seconds, ending Patrick Mahomes' dominance over them, as the Broncos improved to 6-2 and took the division lead.
  • Trailing 24-13 in the fourth quarter, the Broncos rallied with two key scoring drives, including a 5-yard touchdown run by rookie Jonah Coleman, to take the lead before holding the Chiefs on a critical fourth-and-goal play.
  • The Chiefs led 17-13 at halftime, highlighted by rookie Emmett Johnson's 73-yard touchdown catch and run, but the Broncos' defense tightened in the second half despite early struggles on offense.
  • Kansas City missed a crucial 54-yard field goal attempt in the fourth quarter under poor weather conditions, and a late false start penalty on the Chiefs erased a potential game-winning touchdown, allowing the Broncos to sack Mahomes and secure the win.
  • This victory prevented a season sweep by the Chiefs, marking a significant breakthrough for the Broncos against a team that had previously won 14 of 16 matchups with Mahomes as the starter.
