The play probably just should have been a bad one.
The Broncos didn’t exactly have a fleet of explosive playmakers on the field in the first place for a first-and-goal snap Sunday from the Kansas City 3-yard line midway through the second quarter.
Rookie quarterback Bo Nix play-faked, but nobody came open.
That was, in part, because the only wide receiver on the field didn’t do what he was supposed to.
Tight end Adam Trautman worked himself free as Nix ran to his right, but Nix put the ball in a bad spot for him, giving Chiefs cornerback Nazeeh Johnson a chance to disrupt the throw.
