They’re 0-5 in one-score games, and tight end Travis Kelce couldn’t hide his frustration, declining to speak to reporters except to say, “If you’re going to ask me about the [Chiefs’ all-time touchdown] record, I could care less about that right now.”
The Denver Broncos have extended their winning streak to eight games with a 22-19 win over the Kansas City Chiefs.
During the interception return, left guard Kingsley Suamataia took a shot — and left the game.

Travis Kelce made franchise history after scoring his 84th career touchdown in the Chiefs' matchup against the Broncos on Sunday evening.
