The Kansas City Chiefs extended their undefeated season record to 9-0 with a nail-biting 16-14 win over the Denver Broncos, securing a 15-game winning streak. As time expired, Chiefs' linebacker Leo Chenal made a game-winning block on Denver kicker Wil Lutz's 35-yard field goal attempt, sealing Kansas City's victory.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes led the Chiefs back from a 14-3 deficit, setting up a field goal by Harrison Butker to take the lead in the fourth quarter. With seconds remaining, Denver's rookie quarterback Bo Nix drove his team downfield, giving Lutz a chance for the win. However, Chenal's block crushed Denver's hopes, sparking celebrations across the Chiefs' sidelines.
Kansas City's defense, resilient throughout, proved instrumental in this win, reflecting a season marked by clutch performances. The game also saw tight end Travis Kelce break franchise records with his 76th touchdown reception, making history in front of fans, including pop star Taylor Swift. Mahomes celebrated the defensive effort, crediting the team's chemistry for their success.
After eking out another win in a season of dramatic finishes, the Chiefs look toward an upcoming matchup against the Buffalo Bills, aiming to continue their streak as they chase a rare Super Bowl three-peat.
