DENVER — As Patrick Mahomes stepped to the podium after the Chiefs’ exasperating 34-28 victory over Denver on Sunday at Empower Field at Mile High, he cleared his throat. And he either sighed or exhaled, depending on your interpretation.
Either way, that spoke eloquently to their pratfalls along the way after the Chiefs seized a 27-0 first-half lead over a 3-9 team with the worst offense in the NFL before having to fend off the Broncos … even after Russell Wilson was knocked out of the game with a concussion.
In the aftermath, it didn’t feel much like their 14th straight win over Denver. Or a victory that left them 10-3 and on the verge of clinching their seventh straight AFC West if Miami were to beat the Chargers later on Sunday.
