Final score: Chiefs edge out Broncos, avoid upset with 28-24 win

Without being a loss, It’s hard to imagine the Kansas City Chiefs’ regular-season finale could be any more underwhelming. Trailing in a tight game for most of the afternoon, the Chiefs used an 86-yard fumble return by Nick Bolton to escape Week 18 with a 28-24 win over the Denver Broncos.

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes finished with 27 completions on 44 attempts for 270 yards and throwing two touchdowns — while also adding 54 yards as a rusher. With Mahomes as the leading rusher, running back Derrick Gore came second — earning 30 yards on seven carries.
