Broncos Stun Chiefs 28-24 as Goal-Line Stand Sacks Mahomes on Final Play

Denver produced the defensive stand of the season to beat Kansas City 28-24, sacking Patrick Mahomes on the final play as the Chiefs drove to the Broncos' one-yard line. The dramatic finish capped a fourth-quarter comeback that handed Mahomes only his third defeat in 83 games in which he has held a lead of ten or more points in the final period. Kansas City had looked in control when Mahomes threw his third touchdown pass, a four-yard effort to Noah Gray, for a 24-13 lead. But Denver rallied with two fourth-quarter touchdowns to edge in front, and when the Chiefs marched to the goal line in the closing seconds, Malcolm Roach brought Mahomes down on the last play to seal a famous win. Broncos quarterback Bo Nix completed 20 of 32 passes for 222 yards and two touchdowns in a composed display. The defeat dropped the Chiefs to 5-2 and extended their losing run to two games, while Denver's win will live long in the memory of a rivalry that so often goes Kansas City's way. For Mahomes, denied at the one-yard line with the game on the line, it was a rare and brutal finish.
