Misery Index · Content
Chiefs fans found the rare lost season silver lining: draft capital up, and Denver looked mortal doing it.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
A 47-yard H.Butker field goal pulled it within reach, but B.Nix found R.Harvey for a 1-yard score with 1:50 left to seal it, and the defense — C.Jones sack and all — couldn't get off the field on the L.Humphrey 17-yarder that flipped the game. The fanbase is oddly at peace: a competitive loss with a Chris Oladokun cameo and a better draft slot doesn't sting like September did. The real question is what's left to play for.
What fans said
“Say what you want, but this is about as good of a game as we could have asked for, lose helping the draft pick and being able to laugh at the Bronco's needing a TD with under 2 minutes left to play to beat the Chris Oladokun led chiefs lol.”
