Broncos four downs: Bo Nix, Sean Payton overcome refs, Al Michaels, Chiefs backups to keep dream of No. 1 seed alive

Initial thoughts from the Broncos’ 20-13 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 16 at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium:

1. An ugly Christmas present: Playing for a penalty against the Chiefs in Kansas City during a tie game, with two minutes left in the fourth quarter, on national TV? That takes some guts, man. Chris Jones bailed Sean Payton out. Either that, or Jones didn’t get the memo on how a Christmas night game in Kansas City was about Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, not the Broncos chasing the No. 1 seed.
