The Chiefs’ apparent game-winning touchdown against the Broncos was erased by a false-start penalty on right tackle Jaylon Moore. Kansas City couldn’t score on its second chance, falling 28-24 as coach Andy Reid questioned the call.

By the Numbers
  • Broncos: 6-2
  • Chiefs: 5-2
  • Final score: Broncos 28, Chiefs 24
Yes, But

Moore’s slight movement drew a flag in a high-pressure moment, though similar movements often go uncalled. Reid said he saw Moore move his head but didn’t believe it was a false start.

State of Play
  • Denver holds a half-game lead over Kansas City in the AFC West.
  • The teams have split their season series, leaving the division race tight heading into the second half of the season.
Bottom Line

One disputed penalty flipped the ending—and the division standings—for now, but the Chiefs and Broncos remain closely matched in the AFC West race.
