If you missed Sunday's game, the Broncos rallied to beat the Chiefs 28-24 and are 6-2. That gives them a half-game lead over 5-2 Kansas City.

Denver trailed 24-13 in the third quarter, and ESPN gave the Chiefs a 92% chance entering the fourth. Then Bo Nix hit Nate Adkins from 2 yards on fourth down and Jaylen Waddle for a 2-point conversion. Jonah Coleman caught a 51-yard pass and scored from the 5 with 1:56 left. Malcolm Roach sacked Patrick Mahomes on the last play.

  • Nix: 20 of 32, 222 yards, two TDs, no interceptions
  • Mahomes: 30 of 41, 321 yards, three TDs
  • Wil Lutz: NFL-record 113th straight extra point

A loss would have left Denver two games behind in the loss column, and a CBS pregame graphic priced the difference.

A win meant 48.8% division odds, a loss 12.9%
