5 Winners and 5 Losers from the Chiefs’ loss in Denver

The Kansas City Chiefs’ 5-2 start took a hit Sunday as they fell to the Denver Broncos in a game they should have controlled, thanks to a mix of missed opportunities and defensive lapses. Rookie running back Emmett Johnson emerged as a bright spot, leading the offense with 128 receiving yards, a 73-yard touchdown catch, and a 44-yard kick return that set up what could have been the game-winning score.

Meanwhile, defensive end George Karlaftis made key plays with three batted passes, a sack, and a forced fumble, while quarterback Patrick Mahomes delivered a strong statistical performance, including the short pass to Rashee Rice that should have sealed the win. Rice himself had a solid outing, reinforcing his role as a reliable deep threat, and tight end Travis Kelce continued his dominant start to the season with five catches for 67 yards on the Chiefs’ final drive, proving why the Mahomes-Kelce duo remains the NFL’s most lethal offensive pairing.
