Kansas City, Missouri - For Patrick Mahoms's first three seasons as the Kansas City Chiefs' starting quarterback, the offense was a magical thing to watch week after week. This is Mahomes Magic.

The Chiefs’ scoring speed will make the pinball machine blush, but the past two months have been difficult.

Against the Denver Broncos again on Sunday, they won the first place in the AFC West at the GEHA Stadium at Arrowhead Stadium. The defense and special team paved the way for a 22-9 victory.

"Obviously, we felt that we did not play our best football," said Mahomes, who made 15 of 29 shots within 184 yards and did not pass touchdowns. "We performed very well in the game (played well), we also had games without scoring, and we didn't find a way to complete the breakthrough. As a competitor, you want to be better."

Denver defeated Kansas City 404-267, but failed to resolve the resurgent Chiefs defense. Since the first half of Week 7 in Tennessee, no more than 10 points have been scored in any half.

The Chiefs (8-4) defeated the Broncos (6-6) for the 12th consecutive time, setting a record for a 61-year-old opponent, but most of the offense was dragged down by passes, penalties and occasional turnovers.

Coach Andy Reid said: "We need to deal with the little things happening here that are killing the drive." "Similarly, (this is) I have a responsibility to make sure this happens."

Take the following half as an example.

In the opening game, and hoping to lead 10-3 at halftime, Mahomes passed the ball from the receiver to intercept again early in the third quarter when Tyreek Hill was on a sloping route. Bounce the ball into the air.

"All I can do is put better balls on some of them," Mahomes said. "Tyreek's one—a bit tall, a bit hard. I have to find a way to make them easier."

The interception is Mahomes' 12th overall pick this season, tying his career high since 2018.

Nevertheless, the mistakes that have become a pattern throughout the season kept the Denver team lingering until Daniel Sorenson became a struggling lightning rod in the early defensive season and completely reversed the situation.

His performance underscored another strong defensive effort, as the Chiefs scored no more than 17 points for the fifth consecutive game and for the sixth time in the past seven games.

Kansas City's defense has become one of the best in the NFL in the past few weeks, forcing Denver to win by three points after the draft.

"We realized that no one would really come to save us, we had to figure it out," said safety Tyrann Mathieu, who led KC with 9 tackles. "The other part is just a promise-a promise to the team. It's all about the team. This is the team first, the team second, and the team last. If you can put this in perspective and find something that can be done better, Then at the end of the day, you will be able to help your team when it matters most."

The Chiefs have won five consecutive games and scored one of Harrison Battke’s three field goals in the next game, but failed to take advantage of Juan Thornhill’s first since October 2020 Interceptions.

Byron Pringle provided the key game that finally kicked off Kansas City.

Chris Lammons' injury forced Pringle to serve as the gunner for the punt. He took over two Broncos and blocked a returning expert, Diontae Spencer. )’S dull punt, which led to another Butker shot.

Sorenson lost his starting job a month after the start of the season and started a major way from there.

In the first seven games, defender Beneman struggled in the first seven games, another punching bag of the defense, passing the ball with Teddy Bridgewater on the melee line.

Sorenson caught the deflected pass and ran for 75 yards to freeze the game for a touchdown.

"He has endured a lot of heat, man, so it's nice to see him perform well," Matthew said.

Denver responded with a 13-yard catch and running back Javonte Williams' first touchdown, who completed a 178-yard melee in the loss.

Sorensen completed a two-point conversion attempt, and after another punt by the Chiefs, the defense forced a defensive error resulting in a turnover.

Coach Andy Reid improved to 20 wins and 3 losses after a goodbye week, including the playoffs.

Mahomes said: "I participated in a lot of football matches, we got a lot of points and lost the game." "I assure you, when you win a football match like this, you feel a lot better."

Kansas City scored a touchdown in the opening offense for the third time in the past four games. After the defense forced a three-pointer to start the game, 12 games led by 72 points.

Patrick Mahomes scored in a 10-yard fight, his second rushing touchdown this season.

Harrison Butker hit home a 56-yard shot that swept the left post and took a 10-0 lead late in the first quarter. This is the fifth time Batek has shot more than 50 yards this season, setting a new team record.

Denver responded with a 42-yard field goal from Brandon McManus, and then tried to eliminate the atmosphere of the game by running the game.

The Broncos started their next offense at the 3 yard line and started 20 offenses, including 12 offenses for 52 yards, but at small linebacker Willie Gay and defensive end Melvin Ingram After the III was packed, the 88-yard march failed to score Williams' fourth and second loss on the Chiefs' 8-yard line by 1 yard.

"This is defense," Matthew said. "Sometimes, it's all about weathering the storm."
