In the final 9 drives, in the final 3 quarters... two FGs and Poe's late score sealed it in the final 3 drives. 5 of those final 9 had six or fewer plays, 4 punts, a missed FG. In the final 3 drives (2 FG and a TD), Denver gave up great field advantage with 3 Turnovers.
They didn't even look like they wanted to keep it within reach. So, they got their butts kicked... I'm not going to try to dress it up any differently, it was ugly and KC earned the win.
Those 3 big TDs in the first quarter set the tone and Denver fell apart. In Denver's final 9 drives - 3 turnovers, 4 punts, gave it up on downs and a FG. They were battered, beaten and whipped.
Now it's 2017... new coach, different players, say what you will - but, I think they have improved in a few key areas and barring injury, definitely see a lot of divisional splits this year.

That is the way I remember it too. A jet sweep or pitch (I was in the car driving home from the inlaws) that went to the house then another long score on a bubble screen then kc did what they normally do, let teams back in the game suddenly it was 10-21 but the Broncos could not capitalize on their chances turning it over 3 times. By the 4th Quarter all kc could manage were 2 FG's before the trick play.
failed to pass over 250 yards and didn't have a single back go over 100 yards.
I agree, it is over and kc earned the win that day. I also like our chances this year.
