Victory over Chiefs reasserts Broncos’ Super Bowl credentials

After a rip-roaring start to the season, the Kansas City Chiefs finally fell to their first defeat in the NFL this year, losing an absorbing clash by ten points at the home of Peyton Manning’s Denver Broncos on Sunday.

The sides are now level at the top of the AFC West but this head-to-head advantage will surely reassert the Broncos’ Super Bowl credentials ahead of two mouth-watering clashes: at the New England Patriots next week and a return leg at the Chiefs in a fortnight.

Manning enjoyed plenty of protection on the way to 323 yards of passing along with a touchdown pass that helped the hosts edge out their opponents 27-17.
