The Broncos rally past the Chiefs 28-24 and take first place in the AFC West
The AM Denver team
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.

It also answered the 31-10 loss at Arrowhead in Week 1. Coach Sean Payton wrote 48 on the locker room whiteboard, for the days since, and got a game ball for his 200th win.
