The Kansas City Chiefs dropped their Week 8 matchup against the Denver Broncos in disappointing fashion, earning their second loss of the 2023 season in a game where they struggled to build momentum from the first snap.
Patrick Mahomes was dealing with illness, star linebacker Nick Bolton was out due to injury, and players on the periphery struggled to make much of an impact against a Broncos team that played with reckless abandon and had nothing to lose.
Games like this aren’t uncommon for Kansas City. After winning two Super Bowls in the Mahomes era, the Chiefs have a constant target on their backs, and games against them are circled on the schedules of every opponent they face.
While this was a sloppy loss that felt out of Kansas City’s reach at nearly every step, the Chiefs are still tied for the best record in the AFC and should have no problem securing their place in the playoffs.
