The Kansas City Chiefs beat the Denver Broncos for the 16th consecutive time on Thursday night while winning their fifth straight game and moving to an AFC best 5-1. But much of the talk in their locker room after their 19-8 victory was about its uninspiring manner. While the Chiefs on defense strangled Russell Wilson and the Broncos for most of the game, allowing Denver its only touchdown midway through the fourth quarter, Patrick Mahomes and the offense were searching for answers.

• The Chiefs won their fifth straight game and moved to an AFC best 5-1.
• The offense struggled to score touchdowns, relying on field goals from Harrison Butker.
• The defense played well, holding the Broncos to 10 points or fewer for the third time this season.
• The Chiefs are struggling to find reliable wide receivers.
• Patrick Mahomes mentioned that the offense needs to execute in the red zone and score touchdowns.
• The Chiefs are still working on building their offensive identity this season.
