The Chiefs certainly didn’t make it easy on themselves, but the top seed in the AFC is still in play.
The Chiefs edged out a tight 28-24 win over the Denver Broncos on Saturday afternoon to close out their regular season, marking their 13th straight win over the Broncos. All they need now is for the Houston Texans to beat the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, and the first round bye is theirs.
After trailing throughout most of the game, and seemingly about to give up another touchdown late in the fourth quarter, Chiefs linebacker Nick Bolton came up with a huge fumble recovery and ran it back 86 yards for a touchdown — which completely changed the game and put Kansas City up by seven.
