On the losing side, Chiefs rookie Emmett Johnson had a standout performance with 119 receiving yards, including a 73-yard touchdown catch-and-run and a 38-yard reception that set up a field goal before halftime. Despite the loss, the Chiefs remain at 5-2, having been avenged by Denver for their Week 1 defeat.
