The Denver Broncos defeated the Kansas City Chiefs, ending their 16-game losing streak with a 24-9 victory. The Broncos used five takeaways and their best defensive effort of the season to hold the Chiefs without a touchdown. It was the first time the Chiefs had lost an AFC West game on the road with quarterback Patrick Mahomes starting. The Broncos' longest-tenured player, safety Justin Simmons, expressed his happiness about the win and emphasized that every year is a new team. Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce had a quiet second half with just one reception for 8 yards. The Broncos hope their win will prevent any trades of starters before the trade deadline.
