The Denver Broncos have finally broken their long losing streak against the Kansas City Chiefs. On Sunday, the Broncos defeated the Chiefs 21-9 in a hard-fought victory that was led by quarterback Drew Lock and linebacker Alexander Johnson.
The Broncos had not won against the Chiefs since 2015, and Sunday’s victory was a long time coming for the team. Denver’s defense was the star of the show, holding the Chiefs to just nine points and forcing three turnovers.
Lock was impressive in his first win against the Chiefs, throwing for 254 yards and two touchdowns. He was also able to spread the ball around, connecting with seven different receivers.
Alexander Johnson was also a key contributor for the Broncos, leading the team with 11 tackles and two sacks. He was a disruptive force all day, and his presence was felt throughout the game.
The Broncos offense also had a strong performance, with running back Melvin Gordon III rushing for 84 yards and a touchdown. Wide receiver Tim Patrick added six receptions for 77 yards and a touchdown, while tight end Noah Fant had five receptions for 57 yards.
The win was a huge boost for the Broncos, who have been struggling this season. It was also a great way to start off the second half of the season, as they look to make a playoff push.
The Broncos will look to continue their winning ways next week against the Las Vegas Raiders. With Lock and Johnson leading the way, Denver has a good chance of coming away with another victory.
