The Kansas City Chiefs squeaked by the Denver Broncos, 16-14, to stay undefeated.
Kansas City blocked a game-winning 35-yard field goal attempt from Wil Lutz despite the Broncos being in prime position to end the Chiefs' 14-game winning streak. In a game with low margins, the Chiefs' higher average yards per play (8.6 to 6.7) and more explosive passes (five to three) made a difference.
