The Chiefs lead the Broncos 7-6 at halftime. The Broncos are 0-for-2 in the red zone, settling for Wil Lutz field goals of 27 and 30 yards after stalling at the Kansas City 9 and the Kansas City 11. They nearly scored a touchdown with 22 seconds left in the half, but Courtland Sutton had the ball come loose in the end zone when he hit the turf.

The Broncos placed starting center Luke Wattenberg on injured reserve on Thursday with a shoulder injury.
