Because, the next 7 drives accounted for 167 plays through 2 1/2 quarters, no points, 3 punts and a fumble (others were end of half and over on downs).
Are you really suggesting they were 'holding back' because they thought they had it wrapped up at 10-0, after the 3rd turnover by the Jets with 2.5 quarters left?
They shit the bed or the Broncos played really well? Their ground game was good early, but 50 of Hills 97 yards rushing were on one busted play.
17 for 97 is good, much better than the 16 for 47 without that one play.

I am suggesting that...it's only game 3 of the season. Reid has been around a long time and knows not showing your full hand is advantageous. Misdirection is his bread and butter....
KC was up 17-3...so quit spinning.
Denver has the 31st ranked defense against the run...not every team is going to drop INTs when Semenboy is forced to pass. That defense has taken a step back this year...
