Meanwhile, Jaylen Waddle proved to be a reliable target, racking up 120 receiving yards to keep the chains moving. Travis Etienne Jr. added a solid ground game with 76 rushing yards, complementing the aerial attack effectively.
On the defensive side, the Broncos were relentless, led by Brandon Jones, who tallied 12 total tackles. Nik Bonitto’s two sacks were crucial in disrupting the Chiefs' offensive rhythm, particularly during pivotal moments that allowed Denver to maintain control of the game. The turning point came in the second quarter when Denver’s defense forced a critical turnover, which they converted into a touchdown, effectively sealing the game and shifting momentum squarely in their favor.
