Broncos fans are spending first place in the West mostly on P.Mahomes insults, as tradition demands.

The emotional rollercoaster

What happened

Denver sits atop the West, and it took M.Roach dropping P.Mahomes at the DEN 12 with four seconds left to keep it that way. H.Butker's 54-yarder sailing wide right and B.Nix's 51-yard strike to J.Coleman should have put it away, yet T.Kelce's 32-yard catch dragged Kansas City right back to the doorstep. The stadium lost its voice and the comments are harvesting salt, but a defense that already gave up a 73-yard touchdown to E.Johnson keeps leaving the door cracked open.

  • “The Denver Broncos’ current status is even better when you realize the only two teams they’ve lost to are: 1. A team they just beat on a second chance 2. The No. 1 team in the NFC”

    CONGRATULATIONS TO #NFL REF CLETE BLAKEMAN AND THE DENVER #BRONCOS ON THEIR WIN TODAY AGAINST THE KANSAS CITY #CHIEFS. One of the most horrifically officiated endings we have seen all season. A controversial false start penalty wiped out a potential game-winning touchdown.
