00:00off they do a great job now you don't have time to let things develop and to me that's the hardest
00:06part about coming to denver gym you've got to get out of the huddle quicker so that way they can't
00:12time it up and be like you can't lift your leg up twice in a silent count we know the snap's coming
00:16it's a 31-yard attempt for butker
00:20this is the second from 31 he's attempted in the game i mean four chip shots a pair of 31 yarders
00:28by butker a 24 and a 29 yarder by lutz and it's six six four and a half to go in the first half
00:40amazing shots of today's game are provided provided by nationwide
00:50well six six is the score
00:52it's not unusual when these two tangle that it ends up something just like this there's a game
01:00here two years ago it was very similar in that one the chiefs never found the end zone in fact
01:05had just three field goals as bidet runs it out to about the 29 yard line
01:11by the way on tuesday broncos players cheerleaders alumni and miles the mascot visited colfax elementary
01:17school celebrating kindness with an assembly and activities ahead of the thanksgiving holiday
01:27broncos reaching into their community and as always making a difference
01:33all right bo nix see what he can do with this team we should have a beat on what the plan was for the
01:38other team right now and so spegnola does a great job of adjusting that ready see what sean
01:42pitner comes up with the stocks are not there so he goes across the middle and he's got his target
01:50and it's caught by brian he's now got three catches in the game pat brian rookie out of illinois
01:57picked up 15. it's a wonderful job by bo nix's footwork
02:01i'm impressed he actually looked at one went to two reset
02:06it's flat footed you could argue you could stay a little more square but usually he's been going
02:12one it's covered two and then i start moving and running he's got to play a little calmer in the
02:16pocket ready it's okay to stand in there and go through your progression first and ten
02:21you're on him and he just dumps it off sutton was in the area as chris jones and carl loftus
02:27were bearing down on him you're talking about his footwork bo was very clear when we met with him on
02:33friday that he has not been happy where his feet have been in the last few weeks and i think a big
02:39part of that is just he's sack averse i call it don't take a sack it ends the drive don't take a
02:46sack it ends the drive well right there that was smart he didn't take a sack threw it right into the
02:50ground smartly that was winning quarterback play right there but to me when number one has been covered
02:57the first guy you look at he gets a little bit like chaotic and it's like take your time and read
03:02through it he'll swing it over to harvey who's caught four touchdowns this year out of the back
03:08field the rookie has about three and we go down to trace jim you guys talked about bonex's footwork
03:13the other thing he mentioned that he focused on during the mini by was command communication and
03:18cadence getting in and out of the huddle quicker and i can tell you on the final play of that last
03:23drive before the punt he was begging sean to get the play in quicker and then the offensive line came
03:29off and said we need to change the tempo we'll see if they go a little no huddle in this drive
03:35they need to pick up eight to keep it going you're seeing it a little bit tracer exactly right it's a
03:38muddle huddle where you get up on the ball quickly third down got hit when he threw it and it was broken
03:46up wisely played by watson stayed right there with his man i'm impressed with watson franklin i know mcduffie
03:55gets a lot of the headlines and rightly so but the pressure is going to make this a difficult
03:59throw a minute who who i said has been coming on and guess what her loft is on the back side it's
04:05a great throw should have been caught but watson's defense this year i think he's a pro bowl guy jim
04:12i'm telling you right now each time you put the tape on he's been just excellent in coverage and he's a
04:17really good tackler they got two stud corners on this team pro bowler on the other side and mcduffie all pro
04:23so off the field quickly crush off will send it back to about the 10-yard line
04:35three minutes to go in the half where it's been raining threes four field goals in the game so far
04:45nate couldn't quite stay on the mechanical bull which wasn't going at full force for coach cower but
04:50it was great having our nfl today crew on site here tony you were there for a cameo great to have jb
04:57and nate bill and matt and they'll be coming up at halftime with the horizon halftime report yeah
05:04they're the best take the handoff and toss it over to worthy and worthy's going to pick up about three
05:11out of that that's all baron on the tackle the first rounder out of texas
05:18that last drive by the way that started at the 11 for kansas city and materialized in a field goal
05:25was nine minutes and 32 seconds to produce a field goal it was the second longest drive of patrick
05:32mahomes career and it did not result in a touchdown very rarely do you have
05:37offenses go against both these defenses that can go like that denver do it on their first drive as
05:42well second and six cooper riding the back of hunt and they'll have a third and one on the way and you
05:48can see how close to the vest they're playing this take some shots early to get them off so you can take
05:54the underneath stuff run the ball it's a possession game right now so far the teams are going to let it
05:59run down to the two-minute warning when we come back it is hunt territory hunt time 16 out of 19 on
06:06the year on third one so mahomes will take a little extra time to converse with his coaches
06:12two-minute warning you're watching the nfl on cbs
06:18there's the crew getting set to take it to the scores and highlights coach cowher fond memories of
06:23here he won an afc championship on this field on his way to winning super bowl 40.
06:30here's mahomes on third and one they get him for the first time dj jones was the first to get there
06:41jordan turner pitched in everybody in the building thought it might be time to run it
06:46except for that defensive force the sac specialists you just said it they're on a historic pace but
06:55it's right up top right here riley moss getting his hands on him and then you have help inside on baron
07:03there was nowhere to go with the ball and mahomes was ready to do it aggressive play call on third and one
07:09we all thought it would be kareem hunt who's been outstanding in that situation this year
07:14big time stop by denver and the defense comes up again like they've been all year
07:20and now there is mims who had the 68-yard return in the first quarter to the setup the broncos second field goal
07:31the rise will be kicking it at the two
07:37angles it and keeps it away from mims that's going to be a big kick
07:43that's going to be big number for him right there
07:45how about 61 yards 146 to go in the half
07:56welcome back to empower field at mile high yes there's a sense of urgency that's what andy reed told
08:03us this is such a pivotal spot for the chiefs coming in here at five and four tony it's it's more than
08:08pivotal their backs are against the wall we could take you through all the scenarios in the playoffs but
08:12they have not been in a game like this literally this early in the season that i can remember in
08:17the patrick holmes era oh nicks 145 and two timeouts to work with gonna take off
08:24gonna slide for about eight with bolton in the area about to bring him down anyway had he not slid
08:31denver's defense has always given kansas city's offense trouble this will be the key though can
08:35bo nicks take them down at the end of halves end of games against the spagnola defense
08:43stepping up again away from the heat tough pass and roland wallace
08:48almost came away with the theft it was intended for pat bryan
08:53this is roland wallace who made the tackle by the way on that long mims
08:57punt returned that for a minute looked like it might go for a touchdown
09:00well he's been playing slot today quite a bit they like the matchup in some ways and
09:09you saw bryan have a good start to the game but that could have been a catastrophic
09:15interception right there in this situation but now it's a third and two and the broncos bring in
09:20lil jordan humphrey who they brought back this week off the giants practice squad he's not little by the way
09:26no he's not at all six four two thirty and that's gonna be close for nicks in the first down uh this
09:33is a huge i'd call time out if i was kansas city and then i don't spot him short i'd call time out
09:39of us kansas city right now tranquil was the one to tackle him he's thinking right now
09:46kind of thought he had it when he ran with it well if i'm denver i'm just gonna go ahead and take
09:57this all the way down take a timeout
10:05and because you allowed them to take it all the way down then i would punt
10:08and there's a timeout called by the broncos and again the verizon halftime report coming up with
10:18all the scores and highlights from the one o'clock games and updating the late afternoon action
10:25the likes of buffalo winning in a wild one today with nine lead changes against
10:30tampa bay all the scores and highlights coming up on the bryson halftime report
10:34tony would you punt here i mean most now we're seeing all the analytics that we say
10:39these days go for it you're exactly right so to me
10:44once i got the clock to go that 35 40 seconds i would now punt the ball if kansas city would have
10:51taken a timeout i would have gone for it as silly as that sounds because with that amount of time
10:56mahomes has a ton of time to go get points but i would punt it now because kansas city allowed the
11:02clock to go all the way down i know that's weird right just literally the clock changes it but
11:07surely that's what i would do and you and sean payton are thinking alike you're aligned
11:13bring out crosshaw
11:18this is a line drive boot
11:21that ramio has at the 12. and he's tackled with a 24 52 yard punt
11:2827 seconds with kansas city also having two timeouts we're back in 30 seconds after this
11:38all right the chiefs certainly have enough time plus timeouts to get butker in range
11:44all day it's been a little bit difficult to determine denver if kensley's throwing it for sure
11:50well they're throwing it for sure now we'll see if this defense can get there there's the pass to the right
11:53sideline and it's caught by brown picks up 12. should have tried to get out of bounds yeah he
11:59he circled around in the wrong direction yep now it's timeout obviously timeout leaving them with one
12:07just a simple deep out great time and great throw just keep going out of bounds
12:19save that extra timeout andy sidelines over here hey
12:25over here well played so butker's career long is 61 but you know he could exceed that
12:32in this altitude bringing your own football these days well if these guys get off the ball they're
12:41up there early in the count so you can snap it whenever you want but don't wait under five
12:50and we'll see what the officials have to say about this false start off it's number 71
12:56five-yard penalty remains first down there's no 10 second runoff because the clock would stop at the
13:01time of the foul good explanation there by adrian hill as simmons gets whistled for that
13:11so what happens is he's got to go ahead and wait
13:16on the road we have a silent count we don't say white 80 white is that
13:21quarterback lifts his legs so watch the center here this is a big part of the game
13:25my homes is going to sit there and tell him see how the center's head is down he goes up and tells the
13:28center switch to this protection okay he's going to look at him leg goes up snap
13:34with under 20 seconds spinning around getting away from alan benito was there the pass oh it's
13:41dropped by rice oh somehow mahomes delivered it right on the money oh my goodness only mahomes
13:50and a few people on the planet and rice usually comes up with these jones doesn't even think it's
13:54coming he just dropped it we've had two or three drops today denver's had it far too many this year
14:01but i mean that's basically getting in point territory where you have an opportunity to kick a field goal
14:08almost that would have gone for 22 watch this chip block by the way shaking up he just hopped to the
14:15sideline after that hit hit him right in the ribs behind me the rocky movie hit him again they stopped
14:26the play with a timeout this time out denver their third and final of the half this would be a 30 second
14:32timeout that was genius they had a perfect thing set up kansas city how to roll out now they can't
14:40wasted their play right there good job at denver tony to amplify your point about how important this
14:45game is again kansas city started the week outside of the first seven the playoff teams there they are
14:53at five and four shocking because jacksonville beat them this is why it's huge if kansas city loses and
15:00goes to five and five now all of a sudden you're actually two games behind the seven seed in the playoffs
15:10which i don't think we've ever seen that happen and colts on the schedule next week at arrowhead
15:1912 seconds one timeout they double team on benito to allow this pass went to kelsey incomplete
15:29baron this rookie who's being pressed into more duty because of the absence of sirtan's done a good job
15:36i thought it was a great route by kelsey i think he got held a little bit before
15:40just another ball that gets through watch baron's gonna kind of grab him there
15:46kelsey with a great route but baron's coming on playing in base more a little bit gonna get more
15:57time if he continues with this can you pick up enough yardage to bring out butker but still
16:02not go too far down the field to burn out the clock it's a down down you gotta throw it quick
16:06and tripped up as brown let it go don't even call time out
16:13well it stops with one second the timeout is called by kansas city
16:20got the number one team in the nfl at a historic rate gonna beat the 84 85 bears basically in sacks and
16:28you're gonna want to send out mahomes to throw a 70 yard throw you think he's gonna take a hit on
16:33this one if you guess to wait for everyone to get there i don't think it's worth it i remember
16:37the thanksgiving game not that long ago when they went underneath the coverage of course it was tyreek
16:42hill and he ran through the data secondary so you just called it yeah that's coming right here that's
16:48one right here you just did it that's the correct play call we'll see if denver watched that game too
16:54and is prepared for it the fungus and company moss they're all back deep jones
17:03they're kind of down here good job they're prepared for the quick one as well as the deep one
17:08now he's got to change the play changing it because of their alignment both teams well prepared
17:14that bonito left early
17:19gives you a little better chance
17:24if everybody goes back into the end zone then you throw that quick one the tyreek hill that gives
17:29you a chance neutral zone infraction defense number 15 five yard penalty remains fourth down
17:41of course if you're going to be trying to find somebody that can replicate
17:44tyreek's speed back in the day you got some burners in hollywood brown and xavier worthy you
17:51definitely have some burners i think uh i think benito knows it's a pass just to give you a heads up
17:58he's going to try and jump the snap cooper came back in for this snap on that denver defense
18:06uh-oh they're on him and he's got him again
18:11look who comes up it's mcmillan mcmillan comes up from the secondary to get the sack
18:17to close out the half what a blitz let's go down the trace well coach points are to come by with
18:23these two defenses what more do you need to see offensively from the homes and your guys yeah just
18:29more consistency as we go forward here we've got a little bit of the run game going but we're just
18:34these penalties are hurting us if we can get rid of those we'll be fine appreciate it thank you
18:38exactly what you've been saying so far tony seven first half penalties on the chiefs
18:43yep six six at halftime halftime is next after these first half highlights from the horizon and a
18:49word from your local station here are the first half highlights presented by steve
18:56we're going
19:15chiefs about to receive the third quarter kick
19:18six six defensive battle it is tony what are you looking for here in the second half
19:25it's been a tightly contested which we expect division opponents and we know denver always
19:30plays kansas city really well right but right now it's like kansas city had some opportunities early
19:35down the field got them to be backed off now they're creeping down again expect some shots but
19:39kansas city has to run the football i mean literally run the football do it five out of the first eight
19:45plays and then all of a sudden make it a simple throw for mahomes they have that advantage right
19:49now but i think you don't want to go ahead and get this into a passing contest because i think now denver's
19:55starting to get a beat on the snap count and some of the linemen here's the return by romeo across the 25
20:02it's actually thornton to the 31 and when they didn't run the football with kareem hunt they did okay
20:10yep have five yards to carry tracy caught up with sean payton earlier coach the defense has done its
20:18part but the offense stalled after that first run listen we've done a good job obviously there's a
20:24certain way a game's gonna unfold and this is this is to our advantage we think offensively we'll pick
20:31it up here we converted some third downs we had good field position with the return game but the team
20:37we're playing is more the first half team i like the way our defense is playing that's a key matchup
20:42appreciate it thank you so they run it with runs that started out here in the second half he picks up
20:48three hayden liking exactly where they are right now in this game and interesting he said they're a
20:53first half team this is a team that won all these close games last year kansas city 17 going back to
21:0023 17 straight one score wins they're owned for this year and the broncos are winning the goals games yeah
21:08surprising to hear that right there but at the same time run the ball kansas city number one just run it
21:15take a little off mahomes will carry you when needs to he lost this one for rice and it goes through his
21:20hands tight coverage too provided by abrams drain what's crazy is that is a perfectly thrown ball
21:27and rice has two of those at least today where the ball is going to end up going through his hands it's
21:33just right there time your jump put your hands up and high point it under extreme pressure
21:41great job by hunter block but you gotta time your body and mannerisms here you go on the road against
21:49this defense mahomes special third and seven he's normally great at these but this is a tall task kelsey
21:55wide to the right tries to chip before he's released and now the pass is picked off look
22:02out here he goes it's baron the rookie the first rounder takes it home for a touchdown bring it back
22:13this was one of the worst throws i was going to say of patrick mahomes career that i've seen
22:17but he might get a huge break here because i don't think
22:20i don't think he knew that it was illegal contact defense number 21. five yard penalty automatic first
22:30called on moss i want to see this i usually see a lot but didn't see this one right here
22:38it's past five yards oh my goodness
22:42wow i don't know that was
22:54the coin flip that one to me
22:55that is a monster decision right there and it takes away the touchdown and now it's new set of downs
23:07kelsey on the go makes the catch who funga able to chop him up let's bring in gene on that uh that play
23:15and that illegal contact call against moss what'd you think gene yeah jim even though they're engaged at
23:20three yards when you ride a receiver more than five yards even though the contact may not be significant
23:26riding a receiver more than five yards is going to draw a flag for illegal contact that's what you're
23:31seeing riley moss do right there and tony he was past five yards it was like eight yards he was but
23:36let's go ahead and watch all these receivers on this play and see if someone touches you after five yards
23:42riding is a great point gene that i could see did it really move his body leverage and angles here's hunt
23:49after a 17-yard pass play to kelsey and he picks up four now you think they're gonna run it twice in a row
23:57that's what you've been crying for yes i mean to me though i really want to go back that was an absolute
24:02game-changing play and so i don't want to harp on the point but i possibly i'm gonna harp on the point
24:09that he had leverage on an out-breaking route the defender moss is right there and he's sitting there and
24:16you try and break out you're gonna also run into him did it really affect the play totally for getting
24:21open or not to a guy who also wasn't even close to the ball which shouldn't matter second and six
24:25kelsey's got another first down catch that i love that's an rpo so that was technically a run call
24:32and then mahomes sees the defense and says if you want to take away the run
24:36and rush from that side i'll throw the ball right where you come from by the way at the end of this jones
24:42actually ended up with a football on the ground but they say he was down at the 27 and go back to
24:48him again he is warming up three catches on this drive for travis he looks incredible right now kelsey
24:53is back and you know what adam shine is back just as impressively back to you adam give it tony
25:00they better figure out a way to win one of these games with all these sacks by garrity had five at
25:04new england and they still got thumped by a big number doesn't add up to wins you're going to get a
25:09five-man rush here which means you got to get this ball out quick here's a first and ten the flag at
25:15the line is hot takes off down to about the three
25:23is this on taylor another penalty on the right tackle 74 being off the line too far well we haven't
25:29seen that before have we too many penalties on kc illegal formation offense number 74 was not on the line
25:36of scrimmage five-yard penalty remains first down tracy talked to coach reed coming going into halftime
25:46and he said it if we can just shore up the penalties you got to be up here look at everyone's head has to
25:52be on the center on that line on his back side tushy side
25:58got a tushy and a sprightly we're gonna roll here today yeah we're rolling first at 15. they're
26:06hurting themselves i mean even look see how far behind his head is from the other guys just barely
26:12like i know
26:15to my home step it up dump it off and tonyan has the catch there it is
26:23he was i told you to get a catch i told you yeah for one yard i thought he might have a little
26:28bigger play was he was a catching force uh he had one season at green bay in particular that
26:34stood out when he had a lot of touchdown catches but he might get more involved as the season goes on
26:39we get that kind of sense talking to the coaches yeah a little bit but they're like yeah we need to
26:45get involved all these things but everybody needs to be involved in this team i just thought he'd have a
26:49big play today a 20 30 year still uh almost two quarters to go second and 14. worthy in the slot ding
26:56ding ding here they come over the head of hunt who was hit as the pass was sailing over his head
27:04sternod knocked him down watch this you're gonna see all of these defensive players blitz that's
27:18cover zero all-out pressure and andy reed calls a perfect screen at it the problem is it was better
27:24defended just an outstanding job honestly by denver being prepared for a screen
27:30hands just an odd credit for being prepared vance joseph telling us our focus on the offseason was to
27:36be dominant in every area and they have been there's a third and 14. looking for options
27:46trying to get away from franklin myers and throws intercepted that's mcmillan with it
27:53and a flag down mcmillan takes off slips through the tackle and thornton's not going to let him get
27:59away thornton knocks him down the ball goes out of bounds i believe this will stand i think it's a
28:05block in the back after the interception on denver look at mahomes down here too but mahomes these
28:10guys all got hit right after the play it's a 61 yard return and the block in the back will be on
28:18mahomes not him personally but they hit him in the back and that's two technically interceptions on
28:25that drive but it was bound to happen either way it looks like jim well that one by jaquan mcmillan
28:36who has been again one of the guys that have been filling in for pat sertan
28:41these kids have really stepped up you're exactly right he did an incredible job there
28:46i told you he's cat quick but he comes off at the end he was guarding him man to man had his eyes
28:54and vision on mahomes and makes a huge play coming out this will probably be all the way back to the
29:00five yard line by the end of this is my guess possession to denver to denver
29:05you saw him by the way there was a fumble at the end chiefs almost got it went out of bounds yeah
29:16you saw andy motion in his team we're not going to win this one come on to the sideline
29:21end up at the five i think there were two fouls on the play both after the change of possession
29:27personal foul illegal blindside block against the return team 98
29:31that penalty is of course half the distance to the goal from the spot of the foul
29:35after the play unsportsmanlike conduct against the denver bench
29:39that penalty is decline it will be first down
29:45correction the unsportsmanlike conduct report during that yes there you go
29:49yeah so they change that the unsportsmanlike conduct penalties on the chiefs
29:56what a change of possession it is as the broncos come up with the interception
30:00they clarify during the break the unsportsmanlike penalty is on the bench on sean payton collides
30:11with derrick bowers the down judge and gene sterator that is such a bizarre scene
30:18is this play yeah it is jim and exactly and you you know the whited area you've got to leave that
30:24for the officials to work coach payton got caught in the white derrick hits him that's an automatic fly
30:29for unsportsmanlike conduct all those penalties cost denver 54 yards of the return but on the bootleg
30:38here's nicks and that's franklin trying to twist and turn for a first piece to be a yard short
30:47by the way the end of the play how about taequan thornton almost so not only does he strip it but
30:52watch he tries to keep the ball in right there tries to tip his back second effort that he had look at
30:57mahomes come down there too and hustle he's done that so many times where his instincts take over
31:02and saves turnovers sometimes at the game against the giants this year on a monday night when
31:07there was a change of possession he went over exactly right well i mean he does these things
31:11you just don't see anyone else do correct second and two handoff to harvey and the rookie has the first
31:18down he also doesn't normally throw just a really bad interception yeah so we're giving him credit for the
31:24hustle you should but also that was a monster interception which made me feel like he could
31:30have checked the ball down and just made sure and got points in a game where points are vital three
31:36points are huge it's a game of threes you said raining threes raining threes in that first half yes
31:45keep getting them with four short field goals all we have
31:48we're in the line of screenings on all of them we're inside the red zone the defense is starting
31:53today not a surprise didn't motion down you got zone here check it down right in the middle first
31:58down with john chasing after him nicks throws it at the feet of bryant
32:07well guess what one of the best players on denver is miners the right guard
32:13but you know one of the best players on kansas city is chris jones who disrupts the play instantly
32:20that is hard to do against a stalwart like miners and chris jones has brought it today jim he's had his
32:28best half of football we've seen this season yep continuing here to start the second they're gonna need it
32:34move mems around the quarterback and swing it over to him here's marvin mems and that's running wallace
32:45again making a play he's made several holds them to a couple
32:52they keep trying to find some way to be explosive we talked to beau about this he says it just feels
32:58like we're so close it's just there's that one point we got to make one play we're still looking for that
33:03one play well i'm glad they finally got out of the huddle faster they need to have a better
33:07operation from the play call in so beau can get up to the line faster like right here this gives them
33:12a better chance for success instead of having to take it all the way down because they change
33:16personnel groupings a lot got to be faster it's third down maybe it's sutton time he's got only one
33:20catch so far going down the field and it's caught over the shoulder by franklin what a catch by franklin
33:28fulton on the coverage these two go back to college together at oregon talking about nicks and
33:34franklin and they are really becoming quite a connection wow what a release right there and
33:38you said it what a connection this is a big time throw in a big time situation the blitz and guess
33:44what harvey comes all the way over that might have been bidet on that one actually but that was
33:52incredible all the way around but they got up to the line fast now they're doing it again now you have a
33:55chance his longest play of the game from scrimmage went for 35 there's sutton and he's down at the 27
34:01yard line and now they got a rhythm going to yes if strong gets the playing quicker beau feels more
34:07comfortable i'm seeing this play out over and over again in the first half and in the previous game
34:11just a little bit too much time great job right here diagnosing the defense and it was prentice
34:19blocking on the third down and again there they're going to keep
34:22deep hey man it looks like they switched this one up now harvey's back in harvey flanking hand off
34:29yeah yeah nick's gonna take it gonna wait nothing opens and he's pushed back after one maybe two
34:36so far in this game harvey again taking the lead back position with dobbins putting on being put on ir
34:43five carries for nine yards also just one catch for two you see how fast they've gotten out of the huddle on
34:50this drive it's made a difference he's watching that right here we're waiting for the play call
34:54waiting for the personnel grouping and they do a lot and that's always giving teams trouble but there's
34:59a lot of volume and that's always pretty good sean payton's strength had drew breeze forever
35:03second year qb let's get him up there like he's doing now second and nine with jones on the sideline
35:09with his helmet off
35:15and harvey is tripped up by brian cook after a play that looked like had he gotten past cook it could
35:22have gone who knows maybe all the way home take a look off the top side bottom side right here corner
35:29blitz where you blitz from jim we throw the ball to you leave that area i throw it to that area
35:38well done by bow right there to diagnose it again they get the play in quickly
35:41they get jones back in on that defensive front line up right over the center wattenberg
35:49pass harvey here he goes down to the eight yard line
35:54now you're seeing the rhythm of denver
35:56free release the back
36:03first read got a bubble over the top right there
36:10by hicks and just a great job right now of feeling the rhythm of this team and getting up on the ball
36:15do it again they bring in the 41 year old mercedes lewis for this play number 89
36:21diet and spent much of his career with green bay and jacksonville one of the great
36:26running blockers here's the handoff to mclaughlin they run right behind lewis and he gets to about
36:35the three look at mercedes lewis at 41. the oldest player in bronco history
36:40and he took on a minute who watch right here that's blocking a d-end
36:46and he goes ahead and seals him off creating the hole good job by prentice also yeah helping
36:52opening that hole open that hole says drive is approaching six minutes
36:56give george payton credit gm for the broncos bringing him in
37:00second and goal spotted at the four
37:08it's mclaughlin straight ahead jones has a hold of him here's a push and he pushed him across
37:15for the game's first touchdown
37:23there is a flag on the far side of the line of scrimmage
37:30there is a flag on the far side of the line of scrimmage
37:47jaleel mclaughlin
37:51just imposing their will right here i was waiting to hear the whistle but they kept it
37:55just going forward enough look at all minors among those doing it along with troutman
38:02and now the extra point i'm not saying there's a changing of the guard
38:07but we're saying they're trying yeah i'm saying that's an extra point to make it a seven point lead
38:14well they picked off patrick mahomes they had to start to drive at the 11. they go 89 yards
38:24in six minutes and nine seconds to take the lead by seven
38:32there you see alex singleton on the denver sideline the starting linebacker one of their biggest leaders
38:38just an amazing story a couple weeks ago in a random league drug test it came back that he had
38:46elevated hormone levels and he knew he wasn't guilty of anything but when those levels are high
38:53sometimes it can indicate something else and in fact it did the test saved him and he tested for
38:59testicular cancer he decided to postpone the surgery until the day after the thursday night game and now
39:07he's in recovery and anxious to get back on the field soon for more on this tracy you had a chance
39:11to talk to alex that is right i mean just an incredible story he told me several words come to
39:17mind whirlwind emotional thankful thankful that a random drug test discovered the cancer he's going
39:23to be okay he had surgery told me he's going to start running tomorrow and believe it or not he expects
39:29to be back to playing after the bye and he said he wanted to share the story with the world so he
39:34could bring awareness to this cancer and the importance of getting screened and checked he is
39:40truly a cancer survivor no question is the pastor is incomplete to worthy and he's also been an
39:46inspiration to all of his teammates and i think you're seeing a lot of that today as he's been very
39:50involved on that sideline with his uh fellow defensive teammates as they've come to the sideline he's been in
39:56this game yeah he had the green dot calling all the plays coach on the field and god bless go to work
40:04alex you got a great mindset about you buddy second and 10
40:09quickly over to kelsey kelsey right in the hands of sternad and the guy that took singleton's place
40:25makes the tackle he got third down coming up i want to talk about vance joseph here for a moment can't
40:30say enough about him you can't he's going to be a head coach again in this league there's no question but
40:34we asked him of all the things his defense has done and they've been dominant which one's the most
40:38important thing that he looks at and he said third down defense because it triggers most everything
40:44and here we go with a third and seven
41:00low snap and mahomes gonna launch it long one-on-one coverage and thornton makes the catch
41:08gets to his feet mcmillan then slings him down at the 10 they may have marked him down where
41:14he caught the ball originally but tyquan thornton the one who chased down mcmillan after the
41:20interception beats mcmillan on the deep ball wow this is a big time throw i guess patrick
41:28mahomes has played in a few big environments and big games because no one makes this throw very few
41:32people i should say make this throw in this situation with where they were and what the coverage
41:38look like under incredible pressure staring down the barrel franklin myers 61 yards you don't think
41:46he's gonna bring it today he's gonna try and will this team get him back into the division race
41:52pass over to smith smith collides with several broncos at the five to make that throw in that situation
42:02with a guy running at you is just rare and he throws it right behind the head of mcmillan where
42:09he can't touch it only your guy can
42:13i don't think he was touched so this is correct
42:18i still i'm telling you that's it's a 9.99 out of 10 right there what a start to the year he had
42:25and he's got lost in the return correct of rice and worthy but showing some big time game this year
42:31second and four to rice rice with the blockers in front and hufunga breaks it up he was able to
42:40collapse that opening rather quickly great play by talanoa well that's going to score against most teams
42:47the problem is hufunga is the one guy you don't want to see in the hole right here he's an intimidating
42:52force in the middle he's got a huge motor and he thumps and now we've got a third and one
42:59can kansas city break a ridiculous streak they have not scored a touchdown in this stadium in 11 quarters
43:09hunt he's great at this he's great in this situation you said it's his strength they're
43:14gonna ride him it's hunt driving driving getting some help that's close touchdown from the near side
43:28i'll give him credit they waited on the whistle on the other side they did the same thing there
43:34instead of stopping forward progress and you said it just give it to hunt
43:40he's got two guys there and trey smith helping the push and then coming in at the end is the rest of
43:47the chief gang i mean look who it is it's kelsey is one of those who helps push him across
43:57and there you see the near side linesman calls it a touchdown this is this is why
44:04it's so hard to beat the chiefs and to win the division to to knock them out of the place all
44:12these things in one mahomes ability for that third down play so few guys on earth can make that play
44:20when things recover versus that look and he does it and it correlates to a touchdown touchdown confirmed
44:25we had hard-earned touchdowns at both ends in this quarter yeah after no touchdowns in the opening two
44:32quarters feels like a playoff game does well listen i mean it's not but it it's big this is big
44:41in a slip here kansas city go to five and five and you're three games down to them in the lost
44:46common plus you've lost the first of the two matches they really almost impossible to win the division
44:51here's butker to tie it at 13.
