In a decisive matchup in Week 8 of the 2026 season, the Kansas City Chiefs topped the Denver Broncos with a final score of 38-21. With both teams vying for playoff positioning, the Chiefs showcased their dominance, further solidifying their status as a contender in the AFC. Patrick Mahomes was the star of the show, throwing for an impressive 346 yards and four touchdowns, leading a potent Kansas City offense. Xavier Worthy was a dual threat, rushing for 80 yards while also racking up an eye-popping 219 receiving yards, making him a nightmare for the Broncos' defense all game long. Defensively, the Broncos struggled to contain the explosive Chiefs offense, though Nik Bonitto stood out with 4 total tackles and a remarkable 3.5 sacks. The turning point came in the second quarter when Mahomes connected with Worthy for a long touchdown, igniting a scoring spree that left Denver trailing and scrambling to respond. Despite a couple of interceptions from Cooper DeJean, the Broncos couldn't keep pace with Kansas City's relentless attack.
