The Denver Broncos and Tampa Bay Buccaneers both clinched playoff spots on the final day of the NFL regular season, while the Cincinnati Bengals and Atlanta Falcons missed out…

Chiefs 0-38 Broncos
Rookie Bo Nix set a franchise record by completing his first 18 passes as the Broncos ended an eight-year playoff drought with a 38-0 rout of the Kansas City Chiefs backups.

Denver will return to the postseason for the first time since winning Super Bowl 50 at the end of the 2015 season as they head into a wild card matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

 

 

Having already secured the AFC’s No. 1 seed and sole first-round bye in their quest for an unprecedented three-peat, Chiefs coach Andy Reid sat Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and a host of other starters.

Carson Wentz got the start at quarterback and fizzled in his first extended action since Week 18 with the Los Angeles Rams last season. He was 10 of 17 for 98 yards and was sacked four times by the league’s best pass rush (62 sacks).

Nix threw for four touchdowns, giving him 29 for the season, second-most by a rookie in NFL history, behind only Justin Herbert’s 31 in 2020. He finished 26 of 29 for 321 yards, and his 18 consecutive completions also were the most ever by a Broncos quarterbacks.

Nix hit Marvin Mims twice, Courtland Sutton (five times for 98 yards) and Devaughn Vele for scores.

3 Key Reasons Behind the Chiefs’ Defeat
Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid addressed the media after their shocking loss to the Denver Broncos. Reid, known for his candidness, shared three major reasons behind their defeat:

1. Inconsistent Offense
“We struggled to find our rhythm on offense,” Reid said. “Our quarterback, faced immense pressure from the Broncos’ defensive line. We couldn’t establish a consistent running game, which made it difficult to control the clock.”

2. Defensive Breakdowns
“Our defense had some uncharacteristic breakdowns,” Reid explained. “We missed tackles, and our secondary struggled to contain the Broncos’ receivers. Those mistakes proved costly, as they led to big plays and ultimately, points.”

3. Special Teams Mishaps
“Special teams were a major factor in this game,” Reid emphasized. “We had a punt blocked, and our kickoff coverage was subpar. Those mistakes gave the Broncos excellent field position, which they capitalized on.”

Reid concluded, “We’ll review the game footage, make adjustments, and come back stronger. This loss won’t define us.”
