KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Christmas 2016 will be one the Denver Broncos would like to forget. With a 33-10 loss at Kansas City, the Broncos were eliminated from the playoffs for the first time since 2010, when Kyle Orton was quarterback and Josh McDaniels was freshly fired as head coach.
The loss was the Broncos’ fifth of their last seven games, and their second against Kansas City this season. But this one was the most lopsided. Denver played its worst when the stakes were the highest.
A glimpse at the records, stats and notable numbers of the game:
484: Yards allowed by Denver, the most in a game since 2013.
