It appeared certain that the Kansas City Chiefs were going to pick up their first loss of the season on Sunday. After the Chiefs took a late two-point lead against the Denver Broncos, Bo Nix drove his team all the way down into chip shot range. Sean Payton let the clock wind down and sent Will Lutz out for a short field goal to win the game on its final play.
However, the Chiefs keep finding a way to win. The field goal block team caved in the left side of the Broncos' offensive line and blocked the kick, preserving their lead and securing a win to move to 9-0 on the season.
After the play, fans everywhere were going crazy on social media.
“Give the chiefs scriptwriters a raise they had me fooled 😭,” one fan commented on X, formerly Twitter. Another added, “Ya man this team might just be the team of destiny man. It’s every game lmao. On the ropes of defeat and someone craps their pants.”
This loss will be painful for Broncos fans to take after they controlled most of the game on Sunday, despite it being in Kansas City. Sean Payton and company took a 14-3 lead in the first half after a very strong start from Nix, while the defense shut down Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offense for most of the day.
In the second half, Mahomes and the Chiefs started to move the ball more efficiently by targeting Travis Kelce time and time again over the middle of the field, but they couldn't punch the ball in when they got in the red zone. Mahomes had a chance to put the Chiefs up by a touchdown in the final minutes, but he missed Kelce in the back of the end zone and Kansas City had to settle for a Harrison Butker field goal.
The Chiefs defense has made a living off of getting stops in these situations, but this time they couldn't get the job done. Nix marched the Broncos right down into field goal range. However, this time the special teams picked up the slack with a huge play to preserve the undefeated season.
