Chiefs’ pass defense revealed holes to patch up against Broncos

To set up a potential game-winning field goal against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 10, the Denver Broncos needed six yards to convert third down. Rookie quarterback Bo Nix dropped back, stepped up from edge pressure and found wide receiver Courtland Sutton open past the sticks.

It was the number-one receiver’s sixth catch of the day, including a 32-yard touchdown that pushed Denver’s lead to 14-3 in the first half. Cornerback Trent McDuffie was in man-to-man coverage on Sutton for both crucial moments. The Chiefs’ top coverage player was responsible for 67 receiving yards, the highest mark of any game this season, according to PFF.
