NFL Power Rankings: Where Do All 32 Teams Sit Entering Week 13?
By Peter Panacy
Two weeks’ worth of preparation and home-field advantage meant the Denver Broncos couldn’t solve the Kansas City Chiefs in regulation and had to settle for overtime, losing 30-27 in the process on Sunday Night Football.
This was no fault to quarterback Trevor Siemian, who went 20-of-34 for 368 yards and three touchdowns in the process. He was superb. And watching wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders and Co. burn past Chiefs cornerback Phillip Gaines with regularity was becoming almost comical.
We all know how good Von Miller is, posting three sacks on Kansas City quarterback Alex Smith. The only problem was Chiefs pass-rusher Justin Houston was slightly better.
And he was a primary reason Denver couldn’t wrap up this enticing affair in regulation, in spite of 14 points in the fourth quarter.
It’s weird to think the Broncos would be sitting at home if the NFL playoffs started today.
