The Kansas City Chiefs were defeated by the Denver Broncos 28-24 in Week 8. Kansas City held a 24-13 lead heading into the fourth quarter but allowed 15 unanswered points to Denver.

The Chiefs are now on a two-game losing streak but have upcoming games against the New York Jets and Arizona Cardinals that Reid aims to leverage for a turnaround.
