Sunday’s game epitomized Mile High Magic as the Denver Broncos scored 15 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to rally against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Denver Broncos win 4th quarter thriller vs. Kansas City Chiefs
It wasn’t pretty for the Denver Broncos going into the fourth quarter, as it felt like the Kansas City Chiefs had control of the game, up 24-13 and rattling off big gain after big gain.
All it takes, though, is a little Mile High Magic — a stop here, a stop there, and all of a sudden things shift. Alex Singleton’s sack of Patrick Mahomes on 3rd and 2 made the Chiefs lose six yards, and Harrison Butker’s missed field goal ensued. Then Jonah Coleman’s 51-yard catch-and-run inside the five, and his five-yard touchdown run, put the Broncos up 28-24 with 1:56 left.
It was never going to be easy. The Chiefs rattled off a big return on the ensuing kickoff, and Mahomes found Kelce for 32 yards to bring them down the field.
Then, Broncos Country showed up when the team needed them most, shaking the stadium on a goal line stand that saw JL Skinner stick Kenneth Walker at the one-yard line, to it being so loud that the Chiefs had a false start that backed them up. Then, it was the eventual fourth-down stop to end the game, with Denver’s coverage tightening up and their pass rush getting home, with Malcolm Roach sealing the game.
It was the biggest regular-season win in the Sean Payton era, and the clutch Broncos showed up once again. Bo Nix played very well and made some important throws, including two touchdown throws on fourth-and-goal, and connecting with Jaylen Waddle on a 2-pt. conversion, helping Denver land 4-for-4 this season on 2-point attempts.
“It means a lot,” Nix said. “That’s a big divisional win for us, obviously—one of our toughest opponents in the division, one of our rivals. They played us really well again, and we just responded this time. That’s just a good football team, and they’re going to give us their best every time, and so we just have to respond well.”
That game summarized what magic, grit, and resilience are made of.
