Denver Broncos vs. Kansas City score & highlights from Week 1

Patrick Mahomes marked his comeback under the bright lights of Monday Night Football by guiding the Kansas City Chiefs to a dominant 31-10 victory over the Denver Broncos at Arrowhead Stadium. The Chiefs controlled the divisional clash on the ground, powered by a record-setting performance from Kenneth Walker III, who amassed a personal career best to dismantle Denver's defense.

Despite entering their 2026 campaign with high hopes following an appearance in the previous AFC Championship Game, the visiting Broncos struggled throughout the lopsided affair. Denver's primary bright spot arrived when Bo Nix connected on a scoring strike to Evan Engram, a sequence set up through trickery involving Jaylen Waddle.
