In a remarkable comeback, the Denver Broncos secured a spot in the playoffs after defeating the Kansas City Chiefs 38-0, marking the end of an eight-year postseason drought. Rookie quarterback Bo Nix made history by completing his first 18 passes and finishing with four touchdown passes, totaling 321 yards in the game. This victory not only snapped the Broncos' two-game losing streak but also set a new franchise record for consecutive completions in a game.
The Chiefs, having already clinched the AFC's No. 1 seed, opted to rest several key players, including Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. As a result, their backup quarterback, Carson Wentz, struggled against the Broncos' formidable defense, which recorded four sacks. The Broncos will now face the Buffalo Bills in the wild-card round next weekend.
