A day for the Broncos to shine - Denver 44 KC 13

Well the debate is over. Denver did beat Kansas City and handily at that. Lots of action in this game, but the whole time KC was making mistakes while Denver did not. For the remainder of the season, that will be the key to everything. Winning means not making mistakes in the NFL. While it may not be the only thing, it is a very big thing.

Kassel was not able to connect with his receivers today at any good rate. Orten did better. Denver Defense came though with several interceptions.

BRONCOS 41, CHIEFS 13 - Gray Caldwell Bronco Play by Play

Q4 11:51: Three incomplete passes from Croyle bring up fourth down. On the last of the three there was a flag for holding on the Chiefs, but the penalty was declined. Colquitt is back in to punt to Royal, who is back in the game. He fields the kick at the 20-yard line, makes some dfenders miss and brings it out to the Kansas City 41-yard line. That’s a return of 39 yards on a 50-yard punt.

Q4 11:26: Orton finds Scheffler on first down for a big gain to the 22-yard line. It’s a 19-yard gain, and the next play brings a run by Buckhalter for a loss of a yard. Marshall gained two yards on a pass from Orton on second down, and Royal took an end-around for another yard to set up a 37-yard Matt Prater field goal on fourth down, which the kicker drilled through the uprights.

BRONCOS 44, CHIEFS 13

Q4 8:19: A pass from Croyle to Cottam picks up a quick first down, then the two connect again for a nine-yard gain. Castille takes a carry for 16 yards and another first down on the ensuing play. Darcel McBath, Vonnie Holliday, Robert Ayers, Wesley Woodyard, Darrell Reid and Ty Law are all seeing extensive playing time on defense now, as some starters seem to be done for the day.

Q4 6:23: The Chiefs have a 3rd-and-10 on the Denver 13-yard line after two Croyle incompletions. The quarterback lines up in the shotgun before Kansas City calls its second timeout of the half.

Q4 6:19: Croyle lines up under center on third down, drops back and tries to find Wade, but the pass bounces just off his hands incomplete. On fourth down, the Chiefs offense is still on the field. Croyle is in the shotgun. He takes the snap and finds Castille, but the fullback is short of the first down. The turnover on downs gives the Broncos offense the ball at its own 5-yard line.

Q4 6:03: Chris Simms is in at quarterback, and he hands the ball to Peyton Hillis, who picks up a quick five yards.

Q4 4:40: Hillis picks up four more yards on second down, setting up 3rd-and-1, but a false start penalty makes it 3rd-and-6. Hillis takes the carry and picks up the first down, keeping the clock running.

Q4 3:10: Hillis continues to carry the ball, and the Broncos are left with a 3rd-and-3 after two rushes net seven yards. On the ensuing play, Hillis picks up 13 yards to pick up the first down and bring the game to the two-minute warning.

Q4 2:00: Hillis pushes his tacklers up the sideline for a 12-yard gain and another first down, meaning Simms can simply take a few quarterback kneels to end the game and seal the victory.

With the 44-13 win, the Broncos move to 8-4 with a matchup at undefeated Indianapolis next on the schedule.
