The Denver Broncos clinched the AFC West lead with a 28-24 comeback victory over the Kansas City Chiefs after a goal-line stand in the final seconds.
With 15 seconds left, Patrick Mahomes drove the Chiefs to the Broncos' 1-yard line. On fourth-and-1, Mahomes appeared to connect with Rashee Rice for a go-ahead touchdown, but officials flagged right tackle Jaylon Moore for a false start, pushing Kansas City back to the 6-yard line. Mahomes was then sacked by Malcolm Roach to end the game.
The call drew controversy as Moore seemed to only shift his stance and turn his head. Chiefs coach Andy Reid said he did not see a false start. "I didn't see it," Reid said. "But that's one man's opinion. I saw him move his head, but I didn't see a false start." Moore said he had not yet reviewed the play.
Earlier in the fourth quarter, Mahomes took an avoidable sack on third-and-2, leading to a missed 54-yard field goal by Harrison Butker. The Broncos scored the winning touchdown two plays later. The Chiefs have lost two straight after a 5-0 start, and Mahomes fell to 80-3 when holding a double-digit fourth-quarter lead.
