"In the second half, they started throwing haymakers. And scoring touchdowns. They ended up delivering a classic rivalry game that turned on a sack by Broncos defensive back Ja'Quan McMillian -- his second of the game, to go with an interception -- and ended when Broncos kicker Wil Lutz made a 35-yard field goal as time ran out for a 22-19 Denver victory."
"Coincidentally, it was the same length field goal that Lutz had blocked as time ran out in Kansas City last year to deliver the Broncos their most heartbreaking loss of the 2024 season. But this isn't last year. The Broncos were 1-6 in one-score games last season. They're 7-2 in them this year. The Chiefs were 11-0 in one-score games last season. This year, they're 0-5."
The Broncos beat the Chiefs 22-19 on a 35-yard field goal by Wil Lutz as time expired. The game was a defensive, scoreless battle in the first half before both teams opened up in the second half. Broncos defensive back Ja'Quan McMillian recorded two sacks and an interception, including a pivotal sack that swung momentum. The win improves Denver's record in one-score games to 7-2 while Kansas City has fallen to 0-5 in such contests this season. The victory gives Denver a two-game division lead over the Chargers and a 3.5-game lead over the Chiefs entering the bye week.
