The box score was impressive for Bo Nix in his first game at Arrowhead. He completed 22 of his 30 passing attempts for 215 yards and two touchdowns. He also had two carries, but unfortunately they resulted in a loss of two yards. But the real highlight of the game was Nix's 32-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Courtland Sutton. It was a beautiful play, with Sutton expertly creating separation from the defender before Nix delivered a perfect throw for the score. This gave the Denver Broncos a 14-3 lead in the second quarter. However, that would be their last touchdown of the game.
On the other hand, there were also some low points for Nix in this game. He took two sacks, both of which were costly for the team. In the first quarter, he should have just thrown the ball away, but instead he was sacked for a 17-yard loss. Then, in the third quarter, he was sacked again for a 16-yard loss. Both of these plays hurt the team's chances of scoring.
Overall, Nix had a solid game, especially in the first half where he completed 14 of his 20 passes for 160 yards and two touchdowns. He had full command of the offense and head coach Sean Payton did a great job calling plays. The team's ability to run the ball also helped open up opportunities in the passing game. However, Nix struggled in the second half as the Chiefs increased their pressure and made him uncomfortable in the pocket. Despite this, Nix was able to drive the team down the field in the final minutes for what should have been a game-winning field goal. Unfortunately, it was not meant to be and the team suffered a heartbreaking loss.
One standout player for the Broncos was EDGE Jonathon Cooper, who showed why he was given a four-year contract extension. He recorded his 6.5 sack of the season by taking down Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes in the second quarter. Cooper, along with teammates Nik Bonitto, Zach Allen, and John Franklin-Myers, did a great job creating pressure on the two-time MVP throughout the game, which is no easy feat.
On the other hand, the goat of the game was wide receiver Courtland Sutton. He cost the team three points in the closing seconds of the first half with an offside penalty and a dropped pass on third down. This resulted in the team's kicker missing a 60-yard field goal attempt. It was a disappointing moment for Sutton, who is usually a reliable target for Nix.
