Horse Tracks: 3 Quick Facts: Sunday’s loss to the Chiefs

Still feeling the sting.

Sunday’s game feels like the best team on the field walked away with a loss. In what was one of the most competitive and compelling Chiefs rivalry games in recent memory, the Denver Broncos revealed a lot about just who they are over halfway though the season. Here’s what we know:

  1. Bow nix is maturing before our very eyes. The Nix we saw on Sunday was not the timid, happy-footed rookie that showed up during the team’s last 2-game losing streak. Coach Sean Payton has added plays to Nix’s aresenal that push the ball downfield....

2024 NFL Week 10 winners and losers: Steelers’ Mike Tomlin earns another big win; Cowboys’ season lost | CBS Sports

Winner: Andy Reid’s coaching staff

The Chiefs coach isn’t getting typically elite passing production from Patrick Mahomes. Half his top skill weapons arrived off the street during the season. And yet his defensive and special teams staffers are overseeing near-flawless results in crunch time, as evidenced by a walk-off block of a 35-yard Wil Lutz field goal, which would’ve enabled the Denver Broncos to hand the Chiefs their...

Raiders open as 6.5 point underdogs in Week 11 vs the Miami Dolphins

Raiders are huge underdogs vs. the Dolphins Week 11

The Las Vegas Raiders were on a bye week for Week 10, hoping to regroup and reset for the rest of the year. At 2-7, they have already made changes to their offensive staff.

They will head off to Miami to take on the Miami Dolphins for the second year in a row. Last time, it ended in a 20-13 defeat, and the Raiders had a chance to tie the game late. The Raiders are a different football team, but they will look to compete against the struggling Dolphins team.

A potential Super Bowl preview

Sunday’s Week 10 action ends with a potential Super Bowl preview as the Detroit Lions take on the Houston Texans.

The Lions are arguably the best team in the NFL right now as they’ve looked dominant on this six-game win streak where only two of the contests have been decided by one possession. Meanwhile, the Texans haven’t been as impressive this season as most thought they would be, but Houston still comes into the matchup at 6-3 and with a two-game lead in the AFC South standings.

Sean Payton vows Broncos will ‘keep grinding’ and rebound after tough loss to Chiefs

Sean Payton vows Broncos will ‘keep grinding’ and rebound after tough loss to Chiefs

Sean Payton vows the Denver Broncos will keep grinding and rebound from Sunday’s heartbreaking loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

The Denver Broncos suffered a heartbreaking 16-14 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. It’s not a death knell to their post-season aspirations, but a big wrench in the mathematical possibilities with just seven games remaining.

It’s hard to find positives to talk about after losing on a blocked field goal at the end of the game. Quite frankly, I don’t know if there was a worse way to lose this one. Nevertheless,...

4 winners and 3 losers from the Chiefs’ win over the Broncos

Which Kansas City players caught our attention during Sunday’s last-second victory over Denver?

According to the Kansas City Chiefs’ defensive tackle Mike Pennel, linebacker Leo Chenal knew exactly what was going to happen on the last play of Sunday afternoon’s 16-14 victory over the Denver Broncos. So we can add two more skills to Chenal’s resume: blocking last-second field goals and predicting the future.

The rest of us were shocked to see a walk-off field goal become a walk-off blocked kick.

Before that, the Chiefs had plenty of struggles — especially against the Broncos’ defense.

Here are a few players...

Winners and Losers from the Broncos 16-14 loss to the Chiefs

I give you the winners and losers from the Denver Broncos 16-14 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

What a devastating and heartbreaking loss for the Denver Broncos. This should be an exciting write-up where we talk about moving to 6-4 and winning two straight games vs. the Kansas City Chiefs. Unfortunately, a blocked game-winning field goal attempt ruined all that and has me in a shitty mood.

The Broncos fall to 5-5 and sit at .500 after 10 weeks in the season while the Chiefs remain undefeated. This is a game the Broncos should have won but some errors...
