Chiefs vs. Broncos 2016 final score: Kansas City wins 30-27 on a last-second field goal in overtime

The Kansas City Chiefs beat the Broncos in Denver on Sunday night on a last-second field goal in overtime. The field goal hit the upright but still made it in, and the Chiefs and Broncos narrowly avoided the third tie of the 2016 season.

Broncos quarterback Trevor Siemian completed nine of 15 passes for 89 yards and no touchdowns in the first half. In the second half and overtime, he added 279 passing yards and three touchdowns, including a 76-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Bennie Fowler. Still, it wasn’t enough to get the win.

Siemian did this while under consistent pressure from an aggressive Chiefs defensive front. Justin Houston sacked Siemian three times, including one safety.

Kendall Reyes added another sack in regulation. Tamba Hali sacked Siemian once in overtime.

The Broncos couldn’t overcome their own mistakes to get a win. Denver allowed a safety to Justin Houston, and immediately allowed an 86-yard return touchdown from Tyreek Hill on the ensuing kick.

Denver’s return specialist, Jordan Norwood, muffed two punts, and one of those was recovered by the Chiefs. Norwood’s teammate, Aqib Talib, wasn’t happy about the muffed punts.

The Chiefs tried to mount a comeback as time ticked away in regulation, scoring a touchdown that was initially not called a touchdown, but the ruling was changed upon review. That narrowed the Broncos’ lead to 24-22, and the two-point conversion was successful, tying the game at 24.

Denver and Kansas City traded field goals on their first possessions of overtime, but a miss from Denver later on gave the Chiefs a shot to win it with a field goal.

With the win, Kansas City improves to 8-3 and improves its standing in the AFC West. The Broncos fall to 7-4, placing them a full game behind the Chiefs and two games behind the division-leading Oakland Raiders. For the Chiefs, the Sunday Night Football win also means they improve to 11-18 in primetime games since 2004.
