Kansas City made it 16 wins in a row over Denver on Thursday night with a 19-8 victory. The defense was dominant, not allowing points until late in the fourth quarter. The Chiefs’ offense was sloppy and out of rhythm more than you’d like to see, but there were some good individual performances from Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Rashee Rice.
