Denver Broncos: 3 reactions to another disappointing loss

The Denver Broncos lost another hard-fought game to the Kansas City Chiefs. How did this one go down and what’s up next for the Broncos?

The Denver Broncos went into Kansas City needing a victory to essentially save their season, and they came away with a disappointing 30-23 loss.

Things started off looking pretty great for the Broncos with a 7-0 lead in the first quarter, but after the Broncos went up 7-0, the Chiefs scored on every offensive possession until it was eventually 30-14 seemingly in the blink of an eye.

The Chiefs’ ability to score at will is infuriating to watch because they can beat you a number of different ways, but the Broncos’ defense made some solid adjustments throughout the game, even forcing Mahomes to throw an interception and getting a couple of sacks in the second half.

The Broncos’ run defense held Kareem Hunt to 50 yards rushing in this game, but they could not get out of their own way with 10 penalties for 83 yards, three penalties wiping away plays of 20-plus yards.

Now with a 3-5 record, the Broncos are at an important crossroads not only this season but looking forward to the future.
