Chiefs Defeat Broncos

Chiefs Crush Broncos 31-10 as Mahomes Returns and Walker Rushes for 173 Yards

The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Denver Broncos 31-10 on Monday Night Football, marking the return of Patrick Mahomes from a torn ligaments in his left knee. The game was also a coming-out party for reigning Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III, who rushed for 173 yards and scored two touchdowns. The victory was a significant boost for the Chiefs, who have not had a 1,000-yard rusher since 2017. The Broncos' new offensive coordinator Davis Webb was not quite ready for primetime, and the team's poor play-calling was noted. The defense was poor, with several missed tackles and holding calls by wide receivers. The loss of Jonathan Cooper for an indefinite period on the commissioner's list while facing trial for charges related to domestic incidents.
