AI RECAPThe Kansas City Chiefs held off the Denver Broncos with a final score of 24-17 in a tightly contested Week 2 matchup of the 2028 season. The victory keeps the Chiefs firmly in the playoff conversation, showcasing their potent offense and resilient defense.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes was the standout performer, throwing for 291 yards and two touchdowns, leading his team to victory.

Together, they fueled the Chiefs' offensive onslaught that ultimately secured the win.
Defensively, the Chiefs made crucial plays, particularly from Chris Jones, who recorded two sacks, and Zyon McCollum, who snagged two interceptions.
