On the brighter side for Kansas City, their defense was the star of the night. They managed to overshadow the Broncos with a strong defensive play, causing multiple interceptions and pass deflections. Nick Bolton and Chris Jones, in particular, left a mark with their contributions.

Travis Kelce, with his consistent performance against the Broncos, wrapped up the match with nine receptions, totaling 124 yards.
