Best statistics of the night

The Broncos defense played extremely tough Sunday afternoon as the offense once again, put them in tough situations. The defense held the Chiefs to only 20 points off of five Broncos interceptions. That may not sound great, but considering the Chiefs had an average starting field position of the 48 yard line, that effort is pretty impressive.

Outside of the one big play of the game, West’s 80-yard touchdown reception, on which Brandon Marshall admitted after the game that someone (he would not say who) blew their coverage assignment, the Broncos only allowed 41 total yards to the visitors in the second half.

They Broncos defense also continued to be very stout on third down. The Chiefs only converted 4-of-16 third downs.
