Mahomes (new ACL/LCL version) and Walker bleached the Broncos run defense on that touchdown drive Via @LawMurrayTheNU on X

What happened: Mahomes and Walker drove through Denver's run defense on a touchdown march. Harrison Butker holds the game-high at 1 point, and Wil Lutz also has 1 point.

Why it matters: Denver entered 2-1, while Kansas City came in 0-3 on a three-game skid. This early deadlock keeps the opener live for a Broncos team trying to extend a strong start and a Chiefs team looking to change its early-season track.

By the numbers: Denver entered the night averaging 24.7 points scored and 15.3 allowed through three games. Kansas City came in averaging 12.0 points scored and 15.0 allowed, with losses in its first three games.

What to watch: Watch whether Denver tightens its run defense after that touchdown drive. The next scoring change will finally break the 7-7 tie.
