Week 1 was shaping up like a good one for the AFC West. Right up until the final game of the week.

The Chiefs got things started on Thursday night, beating the Texans 34-20. The Raiders were up next, they too putting 34 points on the board against the Panthers to go 1-0 to start the season. Then it was the Chargers turn, and it was a last-second missed field goal that allowed them to claim victory over the Bengals 16-13.

Through Sunday, the AFC West was undefeated. Three teams sitting at 1-0. But the Broncos had yet to play. And just as the Chiefs opened up the first weekend of the 2020 season, the Broncos closed it out.

Despite three missed field goals and a missed extra point by Titans’ kicker Stephen Gostkowski, the Broncos couldn’t capitalize. In the final seconds of the game, the Titans marched down the field and Gostkowski came back out and nailed the game-winner. The Broncos lost 16-14 to the Titans to fall to 0-1.
