The last time the Denver Broncos beat the Kansas City Chiefs was September 2015. To put that into perspective, only one player remains on the current Broncos roster from that 2015 team, and that is kicker Brandon McManus. The quarterback matchup was between now-retired quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Alex Smith. Smith managed to not throw a single touchdown, yet the game was still close between the two teams.
The game was looking like it was heading into overtime until the football gods graced the Broncos with a perfect opportunity. Late in the fourth quarter, Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles fumbled deep in their own territory.
