00:00At 13.
00:01Totally agree.
00:06It's Thornton.
00:09Maybe a little push off there, by the way.
00:11No call.
00:1261-yard play.
00:14Set up the one-yard run for Kareem Hunt.
00:17You gotta fight for your right!
00:23Amazing shots of today's game provided by Nationwide.
00:27So both teams drive the distance with touchdowns here in quarter three.
00:35Tied at 13.
00:38Bidet on the return.
00:41Able to get away from the tackle of Jelotti.
00:45And we'll check another flag.
00:51A lot of talk about Bo Nix coming in to the week and how this offense has played.
00:55Tony, what do you think he's done so far?
00:57Well, I think he's done a good job.
00:59I mean, they had a chance early in the game down the field, but he's played the game correctly.
01:04I think right now, same thing as Mahomes.
01:07During the return, holding against the receiving team.
01:10Number 50's one.
01:12Ten-yard penalty for the spot on the foul.
01:13First out, Denver.
01:15Just needs to keep it up.
01:17They have been walking on the edge, so to speak.
01:20Check out this.
01:21This is great.
01:22Seven-game win streak.
01:24Ten in a row at home.
01:26And they've had all these close wins.
01:28And they had two losses that were heartbreakers at the wire.
01:32Winning field goal by the Colts.
01:33Winning field goal by the Chargers.
01:35But the fourth quarter, what they did against the Giants.
01:39Coming back from 18 late in that game.
01:41Then 14 down at Philly.
01:43Coming back and winning another one late a couple of weeks ago.
01:47This is their story.
01:48Yeah, they don't want to wait too long, though.
01:50You got Mahomes on the other side.
01:51They did it on the last drive.
01:52Got him.
01:52Get in and out of the huddle.
01:54Stay aggressive.
01:56Still has it.
01:57He's going to go down the field.
01:58He's got his man, Bryant.
02:00And Cook is able to wrap him up.
02:04Pat Bryant, the rookie, having his finest performance.
02:08But he's shaken up after the long pass play that went for 48.
02:13Well, this is outstanding right here.
02:15Watch Bryant.
02:16The safety is going to have his eyes in the backfield.
02:18Sorry, right here up top.
02:21Bryant up here.
02:22And he's going to go ahead and run the deep corner.
02:26And that's all Sean Payton setting this up.
02:28And I haven't seen it enough recently to where you see the game,
02:33see how the defense is playing,
02:34and create the shot play where he gets wide open.
02:36Bryant coming up huge today.
02:38Hope he's okay.
02:39Yeah, we've got an injury timeout.
02:41So we'll step aside here from Denver.
02:43Matt Bryant heading to the medical tent.
02:49He had ten catches on his rookie season coming in.
02:52He has four in this game today for 77 yards.
02:57Including the 48-yarder that has them setting up shop at the 32 of the Chiefs.
03:01Final seconds of quarter three.
03:04They go to Ingram.
03:06Tight end screen.
03:07Ingram for nine.
03:10Running behind McGlinchey.
03:12Staying aggressive.
03:13It's the end of the quarter.
03:14We've got one to go.
03:16It's a tense scene here.
03:18With tons riding on it in the AFC West.
03:21Who will prevail in the Mile High City?
03:32Welcome back to Empower Field at Mile High,
03:35where the Broncos are 5-0 on the season.
03:38The best fourth quarter team in the league this year.
03:40They start the fourth with a second and one.
03:44And Knicks is going to run for it.
03:46No, he releases it at last second.
03:49And it's caught by Prentice for a first down.
03:53And this team, again, they're winning the close ones.
03:56Tony, Kansas City used to win the close ones,
03:59including an all-time record 17 straight one-score wins coming into the year.
04:04Yeah, they haven't been great this year,
04:05but they're more at full volume right now.
04:07They've got everyone back.
04:08But I do think this, this drive is so key,
04:10because Mahomes, he knows how important this game is.
04:13And I think they're going to call that incomplete, actually, on the last one.
04:16But to me, this is actually the moment right here.
04:21Third and one.
04:22Extra linemen come in.
04:23Look at them all lined up.
04:26Trying to get them to jump at first,
04:28and then they'll go with it with Harvey.
04:30And the rookie, they weren't trusting to get the hard, tough yard.
04:34Didn't show any signs of that the first three quarters.
04:37He delivers here.
04:39Well, they weren't lined up perfectly.
04:40Extra old linemen here.
04:41Look at the holes out here.
04:43So as soon as you get that,
04:44you just got to bounce right out back to where that hole is.
04:46Great patience by Harvey.
04:47And a big-time call by Sean Payton to bring in a lot of big guys.
04:55Keeps the drive going at the 19.
04:57Can they finish it off with a touchdown?
05:05They did the last time.
05:06Here they toss it.
05:08Harvey trying to get away from Karloftis.
05:11And he's going to lose a yard on this occasion.
05:13This is normally going to be a good play,
05:19but Karloftis slow plays it coming off the line,
05:21playing the run, and then using his great length.
05:25And he's really been doing a great job this year.
05:30Just want to see him finish some of these sack attempts he's had
05:33because he's getting around the quarterback more and more.
05:35Impressive.
05:35Bidet has come into the backfield.
05:41This is Chris Jones territory.
05:43Second and 11.
05:45Here comes Jones.
05:46Let's try to set up a screen.
05:47Bidet just gets back to the line of scrimmage.
05:51Nick Bolden, Karloftis again, combined on the hit.
05:55Now you got a third and 11.
05:57You see Jones winning quick.
05:58He knows when it's a pass attempt.
06:00Screen gets out.
06:02You have to throw it a little sooner than you want,
06:04which allows the linebackers to flow that way.
06:07And Bolton, very good at sniffing that out.
06:09By the way, Bryant was checked for a concussion.
06:13And he was cleared.
06:14And he's back in for this snap.
06:16Boy, has he played well today.
06:17And they've looked at him over and over again.
06:20Here's a third and 11.
06:27Lofting it to Sutton.
06:28And complete.
06:29And the crowd is roaring, looking for a flag that does not exist.
06:38And Lutz is coming onto the field.
06:41Bo Nix wants this back.
06:43Bryant is wide open.
06:44Take a look inside the slot right here.
06:46Throw it to him.
06:47I think that's probably a good no call.
06:53Both guys fighting.
06:54The ball's pretty far behind.
06:56And free rusher who blitzes.
06:58When they rush from there and blitz, throw it there.
07:01All right.
07:0138 yards for the lead.
07:04Will Lutz.
07:06Good again.
07:07Three for three on the day.
07:08We've got a 16-13 game.
07:14I think you called the 19-16 overtime game.
07:17Yeah.
07:17Maybe you or...
07:18Who knows?
07:19I know somebody did.
07:21We're back here where the Denver Broncos have now added to their NFL best margin number in the fourth.
07:29Plus 63.
07:30Staggering number at this point of the season.
07:34Here's Thornton.
07:35Thornton on the return.
07:38Finally dragged down by Key.
07:41Saturday.
07:42Got a big one coming your way.
07:43CBS with a big-time matchup from the Big Ten.
07:47Number 17, USC takes on number 8, Oregon.
07:50Get you started.
07:52The kickoff at 2.30 with the college football today here on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.
07:56The game that has all kinds of implications in the Big Ten and the playoff picture.
08:01It's a monster game.
08:07Another one going on right here.
08:10Brad and Gary and Jenny will have it on free on Saturday.
08:12Meantime, first and ten as the handoff goes to Hunt.
08:17Look at Hunt's humble as he's tripped up by Jones.
08:20He has been there in the second half of the season running really hard
08:24and averaging about four and a half yards a clip in the last month.
08:26Little eye candy.
08:28Evan Smith come across the field.
08:30And to me, this is what I keep saying.
08:32Just hand the ball off a few more times.
08:35Do it again.
08:36And I think that watching the tape and seeing Kansas City this year,
08:40this might be the most efficient run game I've seen.
08:44It's just hard to stick with it when you have a Patrick Mahomes.
08:46But rely on it.
08:47There's a run play this time.
08:53Stopped.
08:54And you see 66 in there.
08:57Caliendo was trying to clear the way from Hunt.
08:59He's now at left guard as Sua Mattia went out with a concussion.
09:06Has not returned in the third quarter he went out.
09:08Yeah, I don't love the gun runs.
09:10The gun runs slow developing in some ways.
09:12I want to run the ball from under center.
09:14Throw it from gun.
09:18Second and ten.
09:20Here's that package that's difficult.
09:21You got the double mug backers up.
09:23Hufanga's getting out of there now, so you're expecting to pop out.
09:27From the pocket.
09:29Now widening it.
09:30Rolling out with a flag down in the backfield.
09:33In the offensive backfield.
09:35He's being chased by D'Andre Tillman.
09:38Cooper with a great get-off.
09:43It's going to be a hold on 71 Simmons, who's actually played a pretty good game.
09:48They're deciding.
09:48Do you want to take the penalty or not?
09:51Coach, do you want to take it, Sean?
09:54Where is it?
09:55It's going to be right here.
09:57Okay.
09:57Okay.
09:57Decline.
10:02Holding offense number 71.
10:05That penalty's declined.
10:07Third down.
10:07So it'll be third and nine.
10:08Had he taken it, it would have been second and 19.
10:11Surprising a little bit.
10:12You see the hold at the top of your screen right here.
10:14Right, not yet.
10:15Right there.
10:16Yeah, on Cooper.
10:17Yeah.
10:17That's Simmons holding Cooper.
10:20And the reason you do it, you do have the best third down defense in the National Football League,
10:25only giving up 28%, and it's even less on third and long.
10:29But Patrick Mahomes on the other side.
10:31Who's coming?
10:44They rush forward.
10:46Able to get away.
10:47Now is another flag down as Mahomes tiptoes near the mark.
10:52But it might be coming back.
10:54McMillan with the hit to jar him out of bounds.
10:58It looks like it might be on Taylor this time, the right tackle.
11:01It was.
11:02And what's crazy is just Benito's ability to turn and retrace after being held, turn in the corner.
11:09Incredible.
11:09The resultant plays at the corner was short of the line the game, holding off at Super 74, 10-yard penalty, the main third down.
11:22So they got the left tackle, then they got the right tackle on holds.
11:26And watch Benito.
11:27He's going to get around the corner.
11:28Here comes the hold right there.
11:30And now watch him reach, trace, and just chase down Mahomes.
11:34I mean, that is your outside backer defensive end.
11:37And, boy, second team All-Pro last year.
11:41He's first team for this year, no question.
11:44But winded here.
11:45They sit him out for this critical third and night team.
11:49I would take advantage of that.
11:50Slide the line the other way.
11:54Time for Mahomes.
11:56Time to launch it deep.
11:59And Brown is there.
12:00And a flag's on Moss for the second time.
12:07Moss did all the tough work running all the way down the field with Brown.
12:14Just needs a little more poise at the end right here.
12:19Pass interference.
12:20Defense.
12:20Number 21.
12:22Always replace.
12:22A spot about automatic first down.
12:25What's crazy is if you look back by Bonito chasing Mahomes down, you get tired.
12:35It literally is.
12:36It costs you your best, maybe the best pass rusher in the league.
12:38He wouldn't have had that much time.
12:39You're exactly right.
12:41And now you give, I don't care if it's third and nine or third and 19.
12:44Mahomes with time.
12:45He's slightly dangerous.
12:46Just a little bit.
12:4846-yard penalty.
12:51Now at the 25.
12:56Fake to Hunt.
12:58Dump it off in the area of Kelsey and just a little out of sync on that one.
13:09Trying to run.
13:10Gray coming all the way across.
13:13At the end of it, Mahomes just has to figure out a way to dump the ball
13:16because he's about to take a shot right at the end.
13:19Ooh.
13:20Right into the net.
13:20A little shove by Turner.
13:23Robinson.
13:23Robinson.
13:24Yep.
13:29You're just making him angry.
13:33He's got a second and 10.
13:39There's a quick toss.
13:41Kelsey in traffic.
13:43Written down by DJ Jones.
13:44Now you've got a third down.
13:47Third and about six on the way.
13:56If you haven't been watching Denver this season, any fan out there watching,
14:01this defense has been a wrecking crew.
14:04And at home, it is so difficult.
14:08Tall task.
14:09But it is Patrick Mahomes who's never not played in the FC title game.
14:13Bonito is out here for this one.
14:23Third and six.
14:24There's the pass.
14:26Caught.
14:27Breaking the tackles.
14:28Kelsey.
14:28And Travis takes it to the end zone.
14:31What an effort by Travis Kelsey.
14:37He sets the Chiefs' all-time touchdown record with that effort.
14:43He's never not shown up in big moments.
14:49And, boy, has he shown up today.
14:50He looks sprightly and young and watch Travis Kelsey all-out pressure.
14:57And right there, Hufunga does not miss many tackles.
15:01But no one was tackling Kelsey on that play.
15:03Times of old right there.
15:0584th touchdown.
15:06He has yet another all-time cheap mark.
15:10He was tied with Priest Holmes.
15:12Extra point.
15:12Blocked.
15:13It is blocked.
15:19It might have been Frank Crum who blocked it.
15:26You're right.
15:30Here's the touchdown.
15:32It's Kelsey.
15:34Look at him.
15:35His sight's on the end zone.
15:38He found a way to get there.
15:39And there's the blocked PAT.
15:41We're back with the Chiefs taking the lead on a Mahomes to Kelsey touchdown pass.
15:52All four of their losses have been one-score games.
15:54All five of their wins have been by double digits this year.
15:58Meanwhile, you saw the Broncos in superb six and two.
16:00As Butker just taps it for a man of his leg strength down to the two.
16:08And it's run back out by Bidet to the 28th.
16:11By the way, next Sunday, we've got a good one.
16:13It's regional action.
16:14You can count on the NFL on CBS.
16:17We're going to bring you, how about this?
16:18Jonathan Taylor, Daniel Jones, the Indianapolis Colts will come to Kansas City to take on Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.
16:27It all begins at noon Eastern with J.B. and the guys.
16:29The NFL today.
16:30Again, you can always count on Sundays.
16:32With the NFL on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.
16:36So, the Chiefs have to take on a team with only two losses this week.
16:42And next week, they've got another opponent with just two losses on the season, leading the AFC South.
16:47We talked about the consequences if they were to lose to Buffalo.
16:49They're in it right now.
16:56Here's the give.
16:57It's McLaughlin.
16:59And he gets hammered by Nadi and dropped after four.
17:03Didn't that look like that was going to go for more?
17:05Yeah, he had a burst to him that looked like he might be able to break it into the open.
17:10Huge tackle by Nadi.
17:12This is a kid that's going to come out right here that was undrafted out of Youngstown State.
17:16And they thought he was a prospect, but they just couldn't cut him.
17:20He had a preseason game where he rushed for over 100 yards.
17:23And Sean Payton said, I had to give him a spot on the team.
17:25He was always the first guy in the building.
17:27Last guy to leave.
17:28You always hear about that.
17:29But he was doing all kinds of drills and runouts that no one else was.
17:32Running hills.
17:34Shifty.
17:34Second and six.
17:39Nice job by Nix getting away, but then Jones was there to try to finish him off.
17:43Yeah, but there's no running back there to throw to.
17:45That's going to be called intentional grounding.
17:47And they're looking around and should be confirmed here.
17:54Flag comes out.
17:55Intentional grounding offense number 10.
18:05Ball will be placed with the smile foul on the ball for down.
18:08Third down.
18:09Well, Spagnuolo has ramped up the pressure on Sean Payton in this second half.
18:17Off the right side right here.
18:19You get the extra pressure.
18:22And now he's trying to get outside the tackle box.
18:26And you were, but then you kind of throw it from back inside.
18:30And he knew it, too.
18:33We hear Gene Steratore agrees.
18:35We can see that Sean Payton agrees.
18:36That's what it was.
18:37Third and 16.
18:38Now they shouldn't pressure here.
18:40They should back out.
18:42See how they're all pretending to come in here?
18:44Back out of there.
18:45You're not doing it on 13-16.
18:50Nix goes underneath.
18:52Uh-oh.
18:52Got a chance.
18:53Going to come up two yards short as Prentice.
18:55This is a decision.
19:00Is it from your own 35-yard line?
19:05I'm going for it.
19:06Okay.
19:07And they're keeping the offense out there, bringing in Troutman, bringing in Bidet.
19:14With the amount of time on the clock, there's so many permutations that change.
19:17Timeout, score of the game, home, away.
19:20Who's your quarterback?
19:21Who's the team?
19:21The problem is the call gets in late.
19:23Now you've got to rush to the line, get set up.
19:26You can't go to the second call if you've got two calls up.
19:29You've just got to accept it and go ahead and call it.
19:31Snap it.
19:34And that's going to hurt you because now you're going to punt.
19:36There's Nix.
19:37Call was in too late.
19:39Flag first.
19:41False start.
19:42Offense.
19:42Number 69.
19:43Five-yard penalty.
19:45The main shortcut.
19:45That's all timing, wasn't it?
19:47It's all the timing, Tony.
19:48You saw it coming.
19:50That's exactly right.
19:51If you're going for it, you've got to go fast.
19:52And Sean wanted to, he's talking to the running backs coach, the wide receiver coach, tight end coach, being like,
19:58when I tell you the personnel that needs to go into the game, it's got to get out there ASAP.
20:04It's a communication deal.
20:08It's hard enough to think if you're going for it or not.
20:10That's why it's like boom, boom, boom.
20:11It's got to happen.
20:13It's hard to imagine coming into the week, a team that was 8-2, had more punts than any other team in the league,
20:18including Tennessee and Cleveland.
20:21They're 8-2.
20:23This is the fourth one of the night and nearly blocked.
20:28Wow, that was close.
20:29Yeah, it was a bomb after that.
20:31Jack Cochran was in on him and just missed by a whisker.
20:38Ball's going to be spotted at the 12-yard line after a 57-yard punt.
20:43Great job by Cochran on the kickoff, making the tackle, extension, and then almost changing the game again.
20:52Chiefs with the lead and the football with eight minutes to go.
21:04Sternot comes up with a little information to his lineman, and here's the flag down.
21:11They stop the play.
21:14It looked like Noah Gray may have been jumping.
21:16By the way, don't miss the new hit drama that critics are calling your new CBS obsession.
21:29Sheriff country is all new this Friday at 8, 7 central on CBS.
21:43First and 15.
21:46From the end zone, got rid of it to Hunt.
21:58Able to slip through a tackle and pick up about three.
22:03Mahomes had to have quick instincts to get rid of that.
22:05They were on it fast.
22:07The Kelsey touchdown, by the way, did his 84th, but only the third he's ever had in this stadium.
22:15Do you blitz or not blitz?
22:16Will they bring everyone in blitz?
22:19And when you do, Kelsey, his longest run, breaking a tackle since 2023, showing off that sprightliness that I've been talking about.
22:29He's showing off today, but they need him right now.
22:31Second half, 67 yards on six catches and a touch.
22:35Second and 12.
22:41To Gray.
22:42It'll be a third and two on the way.
22:44That's Kelsey.
22:45It's Kelsey with the catch.
22:46He's now, look how many catches.
22:48It's a seven in this half.
22:51And nine for the game.
22:54Nine for 91.
22:55What you were saying is rack yards on the touchdown.
22:58That's the most he's had in the game in two years.
23:01Yes.
23:01And it shows you just.
23:03Straight after breaking a tackle.
23:04After breaking a tackle.
23:05And to me, you sit there and watch it.
23:06He looks literally like it's 2022, 2021.
23:11And I'm like, that's encouraging for Kansas City.
23:14He's been playing great football this whole year.
23:16But I just, the eye test.
23:18Don't be afraid to go to him again here.
23:20It's third and two.
23:21Low snap fielded by Mahomes.
23:23Looks to the sideline.
23:25It's incomplete.
23:26Trying to find Rashard Smith.
23:33It's just great defense by Denver passing everything off.
23:38Now it makes it a very difficult throw.
23:40And for a young player like Smith, seventh rounder who's got some upside.
23:44But he's not going to be aware enough to stay wide and make the throw easy for Mahomes.
23:50Giving Denver another chance as a great fourth quarter team.
23:54Who has been outscored today in the fourth quarter so far.
23:576-3.
23:59That was a huge three and out though.
24:00Delivered by the Denver defense.
24:02Arisa to send it to the dangerous Mims.
24:06How is that not blocked?
24:09Got it away.
24:10Did Arisa.
24:11And here goes Mims.
24:12Mims out to the 45-yard line.
24:1759-yard punt.
24:18A 24-yard return.
24:22O'Nakes and company set up near midfield with six and a half to go.
24:26Down three.
24:29Four fourth quarter comeback wins.
24:32Tampa, there you see them also this season doing the same thing.
24:37It's just been the drama and the massive comebacks they've delivered.
24:41They're three down in this one.
24:43Six and a half to go.
24:44And this is the point they've started all season.
24:48Nick still has it.
24:50And he dumps it off to Troutman.
24:52And he's got about nine.
24:55It's update time.
24:57What is happening out there?
24:58Adam Schein, back to you.
25:00Jim Nance, fourth and one.
25:02And we have a fake tush push.
25:04Mark Andrews spins.
25:06Runs it in 35 yards for a score.
25:0823-16 Ravens.
25:11It's the two-minute warning.
25:13Shador Sanders and the Browns are driving.
25:17Back to you.
25:17How about a fake tush push as the Ravens are trying to extend their win streak to four in a row?
25:25Keep us posted.
25:26Thank you, Adam.
25:27Second and two.
25:28Ready.
25:31Up the middle.
25:33Harvey.
25:34First down and room to spare at the Kansas City 40 run of seven.
25:44That's a big play.
25:45Simple play.
25:46Make the game easy.
25:49Great call on first down.
25:50Getting the quarterback just a little rollout.
25:52Easy pass.
25:54Run the ball.
25:55But at some point, they've got a funny feeling.
25:59They have not allowed Sutton to be one-on-one very often in this game,
26:02which is why Bryant has a lot of catches.
26:04We'll see if that continues.
26:07Sutton with two catches on the game.
26:09Here's the give again to Harvey.
26:10Harvey and Harvey into the hands of Dana and others for about four.
26:18Well, we've seen some of these long drives today.
26:21Not a ton of plays, right?
26:23That's only the 50th play for Denver.
26:25But early in the game, you wear them down one other drive.
26:29You do the same thing, you know, in this second half.
26:32And could you be wearing down the defense?
26:34Hard to say with only 50 plays.
26:36But rush defense really will tell you whether that's actually a thing or not.
26:41Second and five, four and a half to go, already in field goal range.
26:46I'd be playing the pass here if I was Kansas City.
26:51And that's what it's going to be.
26:53It's given the chance, and he's going for a big one.
26:56And it's just out of reach for Franklin.
26:59They have been quite a connection with four touchdowns over the last four games.
27:04Knicks to Franklin, but not this time.
27:06Well, you see the outside leverage by Watson.
27:10He has really minimal help.
27:13It's actually a slight grab underneath, which is why you're hearing the boos in the stadium.
27:20Trying to turn him around a little bit.
27:22Ball just a little too far.
27:24Technique was really good being on the outside with a long defender like Watson,
27:28who's, like I said, played great this year.
27:29He could easily put that hand over and grab it if you're short.
27:32Big third and five.
27:34And they're down on this play clock again.
27:38Expect pressure, yeah.
27:41Knicks, better be careful.
27:43Throws it.
27:44Caught by Courtland Sutton.
27:49Now they can say he was out.
27:51Guess who showed up when you need him.
27:53Chris Jones.
27:56Disrupted this whole play, and even if he does catch this,
27:59it's not going to change a whole lot.
28:01That's a catch.
28:02It is.
28:02That'll be three yards closer for Lutz.
28:04Two, but yeah, maybe three if you're being generous.
28:13Chris Jones brought it today, by the way.
28:15He disrupted that one right through the line.
28:17Big kick here.
28:17Lutz coming out for a 54-yarder.
28:22I will admit, those two or three yards do matter.
28:23It makes a big difference.
28:2554 for Lutz to tie the game.
28:27He does.
28:33Lutz with his fourth field goal.
28:3819-19.
28:39And that was all set up by the hidden yardage, and this is an absolutely perfect kick, but
28:47it's all set up by another special team's play when they got the return and gave him
28:53in good field position to have the opportunity just to get a few first downs to get in field
28:57but the Mims set up two field goals in this game with punt returns.
29:01Some headlines from the early action around the league today.
29:05Josh Hammond threw for three, ran for three, and a wild win over the Bucs.
29:09Meanwhile, ETN was money.
29:15Like an ATM, I guess, huh?
29:16Two touchdowns.
29:17They crushed the Chargers.
29:20Aaron Rodgers injured his left wrist in a win over the Bengals.
29:24Important win for the Steelers in that one.
29:26And then the Bears came back and got the winning field goal at the wire by Cairo Santos to beat
29:34the Vikings in Minnesota.
29:35You know, the Denver special teams in this game that had Lutz go 4-4-4, that had Mims with
29:47a 70-yard punt return and another 24-yarder that set with that field goal, and they had
29:52a blocked PAT.
29:53That blocked PAT just so huge.
29:55Yep.
29:56And now Thornton steps out of bounds.
29:59He got Mahomes with 4.05 to go with the game tied.
30:05Everyone thinks about the last minute, last 30 seconds of games, 30 career game-winning
30:11drives.
30:13Last one, AFC Championship, which has been a pretty big moment in case people don't realize
30:19to do that.
30:20And now you've got a key moment again this season on the road in one of the toughest environments
30:27against what you could argue is the best defense in the National Football League.
30:30He had one message for us in our meeting this week.
30:34He said, we can't let Denver's defensive line wreck the game.
30:38They had so much respect for the front four.
30:42And they haven't so far.
30:44Pass almost intercepted as knocked down by Hufunga.
30:49So going back to Kelsey, getting wise to that now.
30:52You're exactly right.
30:55He's by far the leader on this team today with 12 targets, 9 receptions now.
31:04Thinking you're going to get an easy check down.
31:07Hufunga says no and almost intercepted it again.
31:10This ball's standing in Mahomes' hands just to give you a heads up, Jim.
31:19Rice in the backfield on second and 10.
31:26Looking for options.
31:29The trouble.
31:31And Kelsey catches it, but he was out.
31:34Now you've got a third and 10 against the number one third down defense,
31:44especially third and long in the league.
31:46And look at it.
31:47He tried.
31:49That was so close.
31:53Let's just listen to this.
31:55This place is going to go insane right here.
32:04Barely beat the play clock.
32:14Here comes the blitz.
32:15And they got him back at the 14.
32:18It's McMillan for the second time in this game.
32:23Vance Joseph calls the blitz and his defense delivers.
32:31I want you to watch.
32:32The blitz is going to come off.
32:33They overload it.
32:35Mahomes wants to throw the deep shot,
32:37but he can't tell if the safety's going deep or not
32:39and has to hold on to it.
32:43And at the end of it, McMillan with another huge play in this game.
32:49He's had two sacks and an interception.
32:54One of the biggest games of his life.
32:57Guy that wasn't even drafted into the league.
33:00Undrafted free agent out of East Carolina.
33:02Here is, again, Mims, who's been a game changer.
33:05Mims to the 26.
33:07That was a 66-yard punt by Ariza.
33:10You know, I've talked about special teams.
33:18This PAT, it was Crum.
33:2173, backup tackle.
33:236-7 is Crum.
33:24And he got a paw on it and knocked it down.
33:29Just changed the way the leader stages of this game is played.
33:32A hundred percent.
33:34Of course, last year when they met at Kansas City,
33:38that game came down to a blocked field goal delivered by Leo Chanel.
33:42And that was a 35-yard winning attempt by Lutz.
33:45That was tonight.
33:47Great memory, big guy.
33:49Over to Bryant.
33:54He's taken his lumps in this game,
33:56but he's had his, by far, best performance.
33:58Five catches.
33:59Half the total he had on the season coming in.
34:02Well, he's going to have to step up big,
34:04especially on this drive.
34:05And now, right here, the shoe issue does matter,
34:10especially when you're on the offensive line.
34:13Are they going to have to take a timeout for this?
34:17The call should be in.
34:19No, they're going to.
34:20Now you don't have the ability to get two play calls,
34:22so you've got to step up and just call a play.
34:25Ready, old lady, old lady.
34:26You've got a second and five.
34:27Just a handoff to the right, right?
34:29There it is.
34:32Going to the right side.
34:33It's Harvey.
34:34Nice cutback.
34:35He's got the first down.
34:36We'll check the flag first.
34:45Holding off it.
34:46Number 63.
34:47Ten-year penalty.
34:49You lose your shoe,
34:51and then you lose your one-on-one battle.
34:56Malczewski.
34:57Just take a look right here.
35:00You're going to see Malczewski grab tranquil right there at the end.
35:06I don't think you really needed to.
35:08Sometimes there's certain plays where it's like,
35:09as long as he goes outside of you,
35:10he was already gone.
35:11You don't need to do it.
35:13Yeah, Harvey was already away from that.
35:14But you never know.
35:17Because we saw Kansas City overcome a penalty earlier.
35:19So, that's the 20th penalty in the game.
35:24It's a hint apiece.
35:25Here's the play right now.
35:26This is where I would actually be expecting pressure
35:29and get out and take the shot.
35:31Second and 15.
35:32Launch.
35:33Down the field.
35:34Nothing there.
35:35Double coverage on Franklin.
35:37And guess who's covering him?
35:40Watson.
35:40And he was all over it.
35:43He's so sticky out there.
35:46He's going to end up up at the top of your screen running by.
35:49And Watson recovers very quickly,
35:55keeping his leverage at an incredibly high rate,
35:58forcing him to the safety.
36:01I'd like to welcome those of you who saw the Ravens
36:04defeat the Cleveland Browns
36:06to extend their win streak.
36:09We're coming down to the wire here in the Mile High City
36:11with two minutes, five seconds to go
36:13and a third and 15 for the Broncos.
36:17Knicks had all kinds of time.
36:19Couldn't find anyone.
36:20Now he does.
36:21That's Courtland Sutton, Mr. Third Down
36:24to move the chains.
36:28With 1.58 to go.
36:3020-yard pickup on third and 15.
36:34Wow.
36:35Bo Nix showing he can do it again in the fourth quarter.
36:43And we would look at the game summary.
36:45Mahomes at 276.
36:47Kelty setting the Chiefs' all-time touchdown record
36:50with his touchdown catch in this fourth quarter.
36:53He's 84th.
36:55But it's 19-19.
36:57These two teams that have combined to win the last 15 AFC West Division titles,
37:02the last nine of which have gone to Kansas City.
37:04Here's a handoff.
37:05Up the middle for about four.
37:10That was it for Harvey.
37:12There are certain ways.
37:13Every game you go into, there's a way to win a football game, right?
37:17This was really smart, in my opinion, by Denver and Sean Payton.
37:23Run the football.
37:25Dare Kansas City to take a timeout.
37:27We're right in that situation where we're not close to field grounds,
37:30but we kind of are with two first downs.
37:32So, to me, now what do you do?
37:35Kansas City will take a timeout after this play
37:37if they're any manageable down in distance.
37:39Second and six.
37:40Knicks' pass up in the air and complete.
37:47Bolton batted it in the air.
37:49Pass was intended for Ingram.
37:51Now you've got the biggest third down of the game.
37:54Yeah, there's no question.
37:55This is going to be a stem in.
37:56I didn't know that he needed to stem as far inside toward the defender.
38:02Bolton's all over him.
38:03Ingram just not quite creating the separation needed there.
38:07And what does Steve Spagnuolo do normally under incredible pressure?
38:11He gives you blitzes and blitz packages that you don't know,
38:15that you've never seen before.
38:17I actually think I would pretend if I was him here.
38:20Put everyone up there, but then don't do it.
38:22And they're all down in here.
38:23That's 11 guys.
38:24Then back.
38:25There it is.
38:26Third and six.
38:26Pass.
38:27Got to make an open for the stick.
38:29Sutton.
38:30Where they mark him.
38:31They give him the first down.
38:32Boy, it is close.
38:34It's actually coming back in a little bit.
38:36The nose of the football appears to be on that unofficial yellow line.
38:41They're going to call out the sticks.
38:43Timeout for virtual measurement.
38:47They tried to trick Bo, thinking everyone was coming.
38:50As soon as you get 11 guys around, you're like, you're not bringing them.
38:54He's got to make a move on Bolton to get that first down.
38:56Where is that knee down?
38:57That's exactly right.
38:58This is it.
38:59Watch where the knee drops.
39:01Shouldn't have gone backwards.
39:02Should have just fell forward.
39:02Not down yet.
39:03But you don't always know exactly where the sticks are.
39:06I think that's a first down.
39:07And that one looks clear.
39:08That's different than the straight on shot, though.
39:14I really think we got to see his knees there.
39:17Because if his knees never touch the ground, then it's an obvious first down.
39:20Let's take a look.
39:26Does the knee or shin?
39:28No, they didn't.
39:29That is a first down.
39:32And then...
39:34It's a great job by our crew there.
39:36So, the knee and shin.
39:39Look at...
39:39See how the hand is underneath right there?
39:41The hand's underneath Sutton.
39:44That means he couldn't be down there.
39:45And he's way ahead of the line that they put it at.
39:49Yeah, Bolton's hand hurt the case for the Chiefs.
39:52Correct.
39:52If his hand wasn't under, he could make a case for it.
39:54But the fact that it is...
39:55Jane Steratore, they're going to do the virtual measurement,
40:01but this looks like he's got it by a half a foot to me.
40:05Yeah, Jim, I think he actually has it by an entire football.
40:08I agree with you guys.
40:08I think the arm of the defender helped Sutton get to that line of the game.
40:13Okay, it's confirmed.
40:15First down, 1-0-1 to go.
40:20Timeout, Kansas City.
40:22Now the Chiefs call a timeout.
40:25Okay, folks, tonight on CBS begins with 60 Minutes.
40:40Taking you inside the unusual world of chess boxing.
40:45Followed by new episodes of Tracker
40:46and the music competition series, The Road.
40:50Plus, Boston Blue, tonight on CBS Sunday.
40:55Yeah, I know you've been sprinkling in that chess boxing.
41:02I can't wait to see you jump in.
41:04I can't wait to watch it.
41:04I really enjoy it, too.
41:05Yeah.
41:05I know, I'm excited.
41:07Here you go.
41:07Four game-winning drives.
41:09Second most in the NFL this year.
41:12But he's also been incredible at stopping people.
41:14Spagnola, Kelsey with a great game today.
41:17Here it comes.
41:18Broncos with a chance to take an absolute dominant position in the division
41:23if they can pull off a win here.
41:24Ready!
41:25One first down.
41:27Simple problem.
41:28The run to Harvey.
41:31It's good for about two.
41:33And another timeout called by the Chiefs.
41:35This is such a unique situation right here.
41:38This next play call will probably determine it more than the third down to me.
41:43Obviously, you get it.
41:44But it gives you your best chance to get a first down is right here.
41:48But you also want to make sure that the Chiefs use their last timeout.
41:52These are the decisions right here.
41:57I can tell you if you come out in big personnel to run it,
42:00they're going to go ahead and sit in base.
42:02But right now, they're going to spread you out, I think,
42:05and give you the option to run or pass.
42:07A little safe throw, perhaps?
42:10Perhaps.
42:11There's the target line.
42:13Just give you some sort of idea.
42:15I think Lutz could even go further out than that in these conditions.
42:20I promise you.
42:20I know that's great, the target line.
42:21But you watch these guys.
42:23Is someone coming or are they not?
42:25He's deciding whether to run.
42:26They're inviting the run here, but don't do it.
42:29Here's Nix on second and eight.
42:31Going for a big throw.
42:32And it's caught by Franklin.
42:34And the Broncos are set up now to win the game.
42:4132 yards.
42:43A perfect strike from Nix on a second and eight.
42:46With the game on the line.
42:49And this is a call timeout.
42:51Their last.
42:51That is a big time throw.
42:54Franklin has not caught a pass on Watson.
42:56We talked about Watson.
42:58I want you to watch.
42:59Watson's right here.
43:00He's asking, who do I have?
43:01Okay, I got him.
43:02Well, he's going to go.
43:03He stays outside leverage.
43:05But the ball is thrown to the inside on a corner route.
43:08Perfectly by Bo Nix where the defender can't see it.
43:12What a perfectly thrown ball.
43:14What a perfectly thrown ball.
43:15Great route by Franklin.
43:16High level.
43:17Why do you think they win in the fourth quarter consistently?
43:20Because of Bo Nix's throws like that.
43:22And decisions and catches by Franklin.
43:24And now if you're the Chiefs, you're trying to figure out, out of timeouts, what do we do?
43:29Just sit here and watch them run it down and kick a short field goal?
43:34Do we let them try to score a touchdown if they even try to run a real play?
43:38If you let them score, if Denver is prepared, they will say, go up and stop at the 1-2.
43:46I would even say 3-yard line.
43:47Don't get too close.
43:49But Kansas City, we'll see if they pretend like they're going to go ahead and tackle here.
43:53You've got to sell it.
43:54I don't think Nix is doing anything here.
43:56No.
43:56Centering the football.
43:57Correct.
43:58So they can run it down.
44:00And this is going to be, weirdly, almost the same distance that Lutz had last year at Arrowhead to beat the Chiefs.
44:09And it was blocked.
44:11It was a 35-yarder last year.
44:13We mentioned it earlier.
44:14At Kansas City last year, Sean Payton said it was a pivotal point for his team to know they could compete with them.
44:20They didn't win that game.
44:22They were denied right here.
44:23Here was the field goal.
44:25They did not like the fact that they put it on the right hash.
44:28Sean's talked at length about that.
44:31Leo Chanel blocked it.
44:33And that preserved the win for Kansas City.
44:37Blocking the 35-yard field goal.
44:39You spend all week.
44:41And guess what?
44:41This is going to be, I think it's going to be right at 35.
44:44This time it's going to be dead center.
44:45No messing with the hash marks this time, said Sean Payton.
44:49Great call by you.
44:50Nice memory.
44:51And right now, to me, you spend all week Kansas City.
44:55Dave Tobe, one of the great special teams coaches in the National Football League.
45:00You don't always run your block punt or block field goal consistently on every single rush.
45:08You save it for the end of the game.
45:09Whatever they have, they're going to run it right now.
45:1135 yards to win it.
45:15To put them in such a lead position in the division, they almost could not be denied.
45:2135 yards.
45:22Will Lutz.
45:23He's already made four today.
45:25Lutz in the clutch.
45:27And the Broncos have won it.
45:29They will meet again on Christmas night.
45:56Who knows where that division will be at that time.
45:59But Denver is so far out in front.
46:02They've won an eighth consecutive game.
46:04They have beaten both Super Bowl teams of a year ago.
46:08Philadelphia and Kansas City coming from behind in both of those games of the fourth quarter
46:14to win yet again in a thriller from behind in the fourth.
46:18At a certain point, you've got to start to believe in this offense.
46:20I know there's been a lot of talk being where they were.
46:24They're like, well, can this be sustainable?
46:26Yes, it can.
46:27And they did it when it counts.
46:30And they actually got off to a pretty good start today.
46:32And you know Kansas City laid it on the line today.
46:36It's just a really difficult place to play in Denver against this defense.
46:41Tracy, down to you.
46:44Wow, what a game as we expected.
46:46These fourth quarter comebacks, though, take us through that second and eight.
46:50And that connection you've had with Franklin all game long.
46:53Yeah, well, you know, he's had a great season.
46:56He just keeps getting better and better.
46:58And before the snap, I actually told him, you know, be ready for this corner ball.
47:01And sure enough, they played as man.
47:02He ran a great route.
47:04And he made a great adjustment on the play.
47:06So I'm excited for him.
47:08Overall, just offense made plays when we needed to.
47:10And your defense made plays, of course, the luxury of having them.
47:14But this win over the Chiefs at home and knowing where you are in the AFC West, how important is it?
47:22It was huge.
47:23I mean, this was a must win going into the bye week.
47:25They have a really good team.
47:27And, you know, hats off to them.
47:29They played us really well.
47:30We knew it was going to be a tough game.
47:32We knew we were going to have to play really well, especially down the stretch.
47:35And Lutz is just getting good at those game winners.
47:37Just a great way to go into the bye week.
47:40Enjoy this one.
47:40Congrats.
47:41Thank you so much.
47:42Go Broncos.
47:43Bo Nix and the Broncos were implored by their head coach.
47:47Recognize the moment this week.
47:49And that they did with another fourth quarter come from behind victory.
47:53And now there they are with New England at 9-2 in the AFC playoff picture.
47:59And Kansas City remains outside of the playoffs as they stand right now in ninth position.
48:08A reminder that kickoff of a big one is coming up.
48:10The Lions and the Eagles, Sunday night football, 8-22 Eastern time on NBC.
48:17That is coming up Detroit and Philadelphia.
48:20Recognize the moment.
48:22And boy, Denver did.
48:24And they took advantage of it.
48:26This changes everything.
48:28And Kansas City goes to 0-5 on the year in one-score games.
48:32Incredible.
48:33Eight straight wins for the Broncos who are surging.
48:38They've had magical wins this year.
48:40The Giants, the Eagles, and now against the Kansas City Chiefs.
48:47It's a victory here they won't forget for a long time.
48:4922-19 winning it on a Let's Feel goal.
48:52Go on one-speed.
48:52Go on.
48:53Let's hear it.
49:01Let's hear it.
49:05Let's hear it.
