Thoughts on the game: The Kansas City defense was impressive, forcing five turnovers on the game. Chiefs TE Travis Kelce did well. He has seven catches for 133 yards and one touchdown. The Denver defense was pretty good themselves but couldn't withstand the turnovers their offense had. The Chiefs would potentially be a very good team but need to get on a streak.
