Turnovers Doom Kansas City in Home Opener

Gary Kubiak – I was never impressed with Kubiak in Houston and didn’t like this hiring.

The Broncos won by seven, 31-24. This Broncos team broke the standing record of 12 consecutive divisional road wins, set by the 1987-1990 San Francisco 49ers. “When we had to have it, our defense kept us in it. That last drive was good and I’m really proud of our offensive line and (wide receiver Demaryius Thomas) made some great plays”. “We came here with Tebow and won”. They failed both times. “You don’t remember those 2 for 8 days do you Peyton?”

Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos have pulled off their first fourth-quarter magic act of the 2015 National Football League season. Manning shook his head when asked about the back-foot throw that led to a 55-yard interception return, Manning’s second interception returned for a touchdown in two games.

The dynamic Chiefs running back is typically sure-handed, so when he fumbled early in the game to squander a good scoring chance, everyone on the Kansas City sideline simply brushed it off. But on the next play by the Chiefs (1-1), Charles was stripped by Brandon Marshall and the ball bounced right into Roby’s hands. Can’t win when you’re afraid.

Denver (2-0) fought back with Manning’s first touchdown pass of the season with 2:31 to go in the second, a 16-yard slant to Sanders, trimming the Chiefs’ lead to 14-7. “But as I settled down throughout the game, I played a lot better”. Reid chose something in between – a handoff to running back Jamaal Charles.

Four plays later, Manning lofted a playaction pass over the middle for a 1-yard touchdown to tight end Virgil Green that knotted the score at 14-14 at the break.

“I thought they were going to kneel it out”, Roby said. “Fight to win”. If they expect to be able to end the Broncos’ six-game winning streak in the series, they will have to keep the mistakes and missed assignments to a minimum.

“Yeah, Yeah. Right away, ” he said”. “I caused us the loss today”.

It was supposed to be the Chiefs’ turn.

But the nagging question remained: Did they leave too much time left on the clock?

Regardless of when it happens exactly, at some point Peyton Manning’s neck started hurting and that, for all intents and purposes, was the end of Peyton Manning standing tall in a collapsing pocket and stepping into a throw to drive the ball into the boundary for yet another first down. Consider Manning’s performance a very strong runner up. “I threw it behind D.T”.

The Denver Broncos began the season with a win, but star quarterback Peyton Manning is struggling.

But the KC defense stepped up again, forcing a three-and-out from Manning.

Peters picked off a pass in his debut last week, and then swiped a Manning pass Thursday and took it to the house.
