Week 5: Chiefs 23, Broncos 20
Brock Osweiler? They're calling him Sack Osweiler after the Chiefs got done with him Sunday night.
Osweiler was nailed seven times by Kansas City's defense in a 23-20 loss that tied Kansas City with Denver atop the AFC West.
While the Chiefs passing game malfunctioned again, thanks to five drops from tight end Travis Kelce, Jamaal Charles carried the offense. He ripped off a big gain on the game's opening snap from scrimmage.
The Chiefs took a 7-0 lead on a short TD pass to Tre McBride. And then the carnage started on Osweiler. Justin Houston notched KC's first sack of the game.
The Broncos did manage to tie the game at 7 with a long TD pass, but the Chiefs regained the lead thanks to another huge play from Alex Smith to Chris Lamont, leading to a field goal.
The Chiefs then began to assault Osweiler en masse. Stephen Paea nailed him right in the chest, and Dee Ford followed with a sack of his own.
Osweiler eventually cracked under the pressure, and threw an interception to Eric Berry.
The Chiefs then seemingly blew a chance to extend their lead, as Smith was pressured, ran backwards and threw the ball away on a horrible intentional grounding penalty that lost 26 yards.
But on 2nd and 36, Charles saved KC's bacon once again, and ripped off his longest gain of the season, a 46-yarder that set up a field goal that put the Chiefs up 13-7.
Meanwhile, the Chiefs defended their lead by treating Sack Osweiler like the bitch he is. Zach Brown, who had an incredible 17 tackles for the Chiefs, grabbed his first sack of the season.
The Broncos kicked a field goal to make the score 13-10, but thanks to a long catch-and-run from fullback Anthony Sherman and a Smith TD run, the Chiefs put the game out of reach.
Smith survived despite half of Denver's defense nailing him at the goal line.
Kansas City then ended the game the way it started by beating the crap out of Sack Osweiler, one last time, though he did manage to score a garbage time TD.
Around the league: The Seattle Seahawks are the last undefeated team at 5-0. The surprising Miami Dolphins have the AFC's best record at 5-1.
Next week: The Chiefs travel to Oakland to face the 3-1 Raiders. The AFC West is tightly contested this season: every team has a winning record so far.
