The Kansas City Chiefs had to come from behind to defeat the Denver Broncos. The Chiefs won 28-24 over the Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado.
With the win, the Chiefs improved to 12-5 on the season. Kansas City goes into the playoffs on a one-game win streak.
The Broncos fell to 7-10 with the loss. Denver ends their season on a four-game losing streak.
