With Leo Chenal as a great figure, the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Denver Broncos 16-14 this Sunday in one of the NFL games of the day.
In a duel played at Arrowhead Stadium, in Missouri, Chenal blocked a 35-yard change goal in the last second of the game to ensure the victory of Kansas, which leads undefeated in the American Conference (AFC) West with a record of 9 -0.
Denver was third in the same division at 5-5.
The Broncos did everything right in their last sequence in attack, they managed to meet the necessary yards to have a field goal within 40 yards and they consumed the clock until reaching the last second, the final touch was missing and most importantly, connecting the goal field.
Chenal anticipated impeccably and with his right hand blocked a shot that would have meant the first loss of the season for Kansas City.
First-year quarterback Bo Nix watched in bewilderment from the sidelines as the most significant victory of his young career against the widely recognized Patrick Mahomes slipped away.
Nix, 24, finished the game throwing for 215 yards and two touchdowns, completing 22 of his 30 attempts, winning the individual duel against a Mahomes who had more yards (266) but with a lower effectiveness (28/42).
In another result, the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23-20 with a last-second field goal by Jake Moody, in a game in which Brock Purdy (353) surpassed 350 yards for the first time in the season.
Mexican-born kicker John Parker Romo connected on four field goals in the Minnesota Vikings’ 12-7 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The game served as Romo’s debut in the NFL.
For their part, the Pittsburgh Steelers achieved their fourth consecutive victory by beating the Washington Commanders 28-27.
Russell Wilson finished the game with three touchdowns and one interception.
The Steelers are in first place in the AFC North division with a record of seven wins and two losses.
