The Denver Broncos fell to the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football. What happened in this one that cost Denver a win?

The Denver Broncos hosted the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday night. Many did not give the Broncos a chance, as Kansas City had been undefeated coming into the game.

In fact, some even expected it to be a blowout.

The Broncos proved those people wrong, including myself. However, they still were unable to come out of the game with a victory on their 2018 record.

The loss hurt. It was a game that was so close to going Denver’s way, and it also showed that Kansas City is, in fact, beatable. The first half went pretty well, as Denver only trailed by three after the first thirty minutes.

There were plenty of mistakes throughout the game, a cause for concern. But there were also plenty of things to look back on positively for the future.

The loss hurts really bad for multiple reasons. First of all, it was a home game. Second, it was a rivalry game and the fact that Denver kept it close made it a tough pill to swallow. Denver came so close to the victory but just wasn’t able to pull it off.

Here is my recap of the game.
