In a battle of two bitter division rivals with 7-3 records fighting to keep pace with the 9-2 Oakland Raiders the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs fought till the end, needing every second of overtime. In a rollercoaster game, right to the very end, the team who had the ball last prevailed as the Chiefs edged the Broncos 30-27 on a field goal that bounced off the left upright and found its way in.
At its inception, this game was dominated by the defenses with both teams trading punts for the first eight series. Chiefs’ Justin Houston was wreaking havoc early and shutting down the Broncos offense.
