KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs won their 16th straight matchup against the Denver Broncos on Thursday, 19-8.
The Kansas City defense almost handed Broncos coach Sean Payton his first career shutout before quarterback Russell Wilson and the Broncos found the end zone in the fourth quarter.
Travis Kelce made another convincing case to be the Chiefs' MVP. Kelce was instrumental in the Chiefs winning their 16th straight game against the Broncos, catching 9 passes for 124 yards in a 19-8 victory.
Kelce played despite a heavily taped right ankle that he injured in last week's win over the Minnesota Vikings. Mahomes was 7-of-7 for 109 yards in the first half throwing to Kelce as the Chiefs built a 13-0 lead.
