That’s why that 21 point second half comeback on the road was so huge. Denver didn’t quit when things started snowballing.
The Chiefs had to kick that habit before they started winning. The Jamaal Charles fumble in 2015 was the epitome of that mentality that Denver is trying to get over now.

Considering that Chicago is in the process of blowing yet another 20+ point lead tonight, Denver’s comeback was more a product of Chicago choking.
But keep trying to convince yourself that your shit team has a pulse.
