Broncos Stop Chiefs at the 1, Win 28–24
Malcolm Roach's sack on the last play saves the game, and Sean Payton gets his 200th win as Denver takes the AFC West lead.
The Denver Broncos stopped the Kansas City Chiefs after they reached the 1-yard line in the final seconds to win 28–24 and take first place in the AFC West.
Kansas City led 24–13 before Bo Nix threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Nate Adkins and a two-point conversion pass to Jaylen Waddle. After Harrison Butker missed a 54-yard field goal, rookie Jonah Coleman caught a 51-yard pass and ran 5 yards for the go-ahead touchdown with 1:56 left.
Patrick Mahomes, who threw for 321 yards and three touchdowns, drove the Chiefs to the 1. A Kansas City touchdown was wiped out by a false start that moved the Chiefs back to the 6, and Malcolm Roach sacked Mahomes on the last play.
The win was the 200th of Sean Payton's coaching career. Denver is 6–2 and 4–0 at home, a half-game ahead of Kansas City at 5–2.
