The unbeaten Chiefs welcome the AFC West-rival Broncos to Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday. Kansas City is off to an 8-0 start thanks largely to their ability to win games in the fourth quarter. Its latest escape came last Monday night against Tampa Bay when the Chiefs scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns and then won 30-24 in overtime.
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes walks off the field after a win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in overtime of an NFL football game, Monday, Nov. 4, 2024, in Kansas City, Mo. Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix throws a pass against the Baltimore Ravens in the second half of an NFL football game Sunday, Nov. 3, 2024, in Baltimore.
“We do those long-drive drills every day. It sucks. There’s no other way to say it. But it prepares you to be in those moments,” Mahomes added. “We play our best football in the fourth quarter because we prepare to be playing our best at the end.”Raiders head into bye with 3 new coaches and plenty to think about before their season resumesIndeed, the Chiefs have won an NFL-record eight consecutive games when they trailed at any point in the second half.
“Well, it’s the heart of a champion,” Denver coach Sean Payton said. “They’ve been in a lot of closer games this year.”Until their lopsided loss to the Ravens, all three of their defeats — to Seattle and Pittsburgh to open the season and the Chargers a few weeks ago — had been by a touchdown or less.
“He’s the best in the league right now. Everyone is trying to match him,” Nix said. “Everybody’s trying to catch up, I feel like. He does a great job of just being himself, playing within the system and makes plays when his team needs him to.”DeAndre Hopkins continues to get more comfortable in Kansas City’s offense following his trade from Tennessee.
