Broncos win 28-24 after penalty erases Chiefs' late TD

NBC News reported that the Denver Broncos defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 28-24 in the final seconds after a false-start penalty erased a potential game-winning touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes. Earlier in the week, Yahoo Sports listed the Chiefs as 1. 5-point favorites in the Week 8 matchup and Arrowhead Pride staff predicted a close Chiefs win.

Arrowhead Pride later reported that Kansas City had beaten Denver 24-13, and the Chiefs’ own release described a 27-13 victory highlighted by Mahomes’ 73-yard touchdown to Emmett Johnson. Those earlier reports contrasted with the Broncos’ eventual comeback.
