Chiefs fall on Christmas Day battle with Broncos

cheifs-1

 Bo Nix ran for a score before throwing a go-ahead touchdown pass to R.J. Harvey with 1:45 left in the game, and the Denver Broncos held on in the closing seconds for a 20-13 victory over the banged-up Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday night. Nix finished with 182 yards passing as the Broncos (13-3) bounced back from last week’s disheartening loss to Jacksonville and took another big step toward the AFC West title and perhaps the No. 1 seed and first-round playoff bye. The Broncos can clinch the division on Saturday if the Chargers lose their game against Houston. The Chiefs (6-10) were missing Patrick Mahomes and backup quarterback Gardner Minshew, both of whom tore ligaments in their knees in back-to-back weeks, and were left to watch the game together from a suite. They were also missing Rashee Rice and several players on both sides of the ball that had been so crucial to their three straight Super Bowl trips. Oladokun wound up with 66 yards passing. Kelce had five catches for 36 of those yards in what might have been the last game played by the Pro Bowl tight end at Arrowhead Stadium — he plans to announce soon after the season whether he is retiring. Kansas City finishes its season next week in Las Vegas.
