The Denver Broncos faced a tough 16-14 defeat against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 10, highlighting some questionable coaching decisions from Sean Payton. Despite a promising no-huddle offense, a risky reverse play late in the game backfired, leading to a crucial sack.

Quarterback Bo Nix showed signs of growth, notably connecting with Courtland Sutton for a touchdown and making key plays under pressure. Meanwhile, defensive coordinator Vance Joseph's strategy against Patrick Mahomes proved effective, as the Broncos managed to sack him multiple times, showcasing a strong defensive performance.

In a rare moment, Chiefs tackle Jawaan Taylor was penalized for illegal formation, a rare occurrence that benefited the Broncos as it shifted the Chiefs' momentum early in the game.
