Chiefs hit last-second FG to win OT thriller in Denver

In one of the wildest National Football League games in memory, Kansas City ricocheted its way to a 30-27 overtime victory Sunday night, handing the Denver Broncos a devastating loss before a packed house at Sports Authority Field.

Hill is the first player to score those three ways in a game since Gale Sayers of the Chicago Bears did so against the Minnesota Vikings in 1965. The Chiefs were projected a fifth seed and the Broncos as the sixth seed. Hill was initially ruled down at the one yard line, and the clock almost expired before the official made a decision to initiate a booth review that eventually overturned the call.

Offensively, the Broncos are averaging 23.9 points and 324.7 total yards (227.3 in passing and 97.4 in rushing) per game.

Both offenses struggled after that for a while, but the Denver was able to put together a couple of competent drives. Siemian, flushed out of the pocket by Houston, ran to the left sideline then spun out of pressure all the way back to the right sideline. Jordan Taylor added 32 yards and a touchdown.

Defense and special teams made it 9-0 Chiefs.

All that led to Cairo Santos clanking a 34-yard field goal off the left goal post for the game-winner with two seconds remaining in OT.

Norwood muffed a pair of punts, the first leading to a safety. He wanted his quarterback to play big. New England, a rematch in Kansas City, a rematch vs.

However, after the officials looked at instant replay, it was determined that Hill established possession in the end zone, giving him the touchdown. With the two-point conversion, overtime was upon us.

Many a Sunday nap has been taken along the Front Range the past two years by Denver Broncos watching fans their offense perform in no particular manner. Siemian was 9 of 15 but for only 89 yards. But Denver stalled in the red zone having to settle for three points.

Denver kicker Brandon McManus, whose longest career field goal is 57 yards, hooked his try left.

From Kansas City’s 44-yard line, Gary Kubiak had a choice to make on fourth-and-10 with the game locked up in a 27-27 tie late in overtime. This should be a field goal game in either direction.

Trevor Siemian had a true coming of age game under as tough a test as there is against an inspired Kansas City Chiefs defense.

Siemian kept throwing deep and eventually connected.

Smith was arguably bad for the first 58 minutes of regulation, and his 26-of-44 for 220-yard night won’t make any fantasy players happy. I knew I was going to have to have a big game to get us in a position to win. “I mean, all of those things show just how much character, how much grit, our team has”.

A lot of weird things happened in the game. The two men standing behind center took the brunt of it. Trailing 17-16 with 5:04 left and the ball on the Patriots’ 17-yard line, Brady led an efficient drive by completing six passes. If Reid had opened up the offense earlier in the game, there would have been no overtime.

The Chiefs then moved the ball down to the Broncos 16-yard line with just five seconds to go. Hill would again burn the Broncos, scoring his second touchdown of the night.

This was the Broncos’ opportunity to send out a smoke signal to the AFC West that the title is still theirs until someone steals it away.

Hill’s third touchdown of the night capped a 13-play, 75-yard drive that included three defensive penalties, a 4th-and-10 conversion to the Broncos’ 3 and zero Kansas City timeouts.

Yes, folks, it’s still OK to play dominant defense in the NFL.

After these two teams played a critical AFC West game for playoff positioning, they were going to go until the bitter end on this one.
