The lopsided affair began from the game’s very first possession. Denver took the opening kickoff and marched 77 yards in just four plays, scoring on a 21-yard pass from QB Jay Cutler to WR Brandon Stokley. Rookie RB Selvin Young gashed Kansas City for a 50-yard dash on the drive to set up the 7-0 lead. Things only got worse as the Broncos scored another touchdown minutes later. After the Chiefs went three-and-out, Denver went 84 yards on seven plays on its way to a one-yard touchdown run by RB Travis Henry. Cutler completed passes of 28 and 22 yards on the drive as the Broncos held a 14-0 lead just 7:47 into the game. With their backs against the wall Herm Edwards’ troops would show a bit of resiliency late in the first quarter. The Chiefs defense forced back-to-back three-and-outs and the offense came alive under pressure. Kansas City converted three straight fourth downs, the third coming on a 22-yard pass from QB Brodie Croyle to WR Dwayne Bowe on fourth-and-13. From there, Croyle hit TE Tony Gonzalez in the left flat and watched the Pro Bowler slip two would-be tacklers and score a 15-yard touchdown to bring the Chiefs within 14-7 midway through the second quarter. The Chiefs used 15 plays on the drive and took 8:51 off the clock, both season highs. That would be the last bit of hope for the Red and Gold. Whatever momentum the Chiefs had built was extinguished on the very next possession. Denver went back on the offensive attack ripping off 71 yards on seven plays, scoring on an eight-yard touchdown pass from Cutler to WR Brandon Marshall. The Broncos would tack on a 37-yard K Jason Elam field goal just before halftime to take a 24-7 lead at the break. Things would snowball in the third quarter as Denver posted 17 unanswered points on an Elam field goal and Cutler touchdown passes to TE Daniel Graham and Marshall. Denver’s 41-7 lead would hold up as the final score. VOTE: Tank and Turk Super Ad!VOTE: Pro Bowl - Voting Ends

The Chiefs haven’t had many pleasant memories of
INVESCO Field at Mile High and their latest trip did nothing to change that. Kansas City struggled on both sides of the
ball en route to a disastrous 41-7 loss. |
