Week 6 of the NFL season kicks off with Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs (4-1) taking on Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos (1-4) in a matchup between AFC West rivals at Arrowhead Stadium.
The Chiefs, which checked in at fourth in our latest NFL power rankings, slid past the Minnesota Vikings in Week 5 to stay atop the division, while the Broncos were defeated by double digits at home by the New York Jets.
Chiefs All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce (knee) had been questionable this week ahead of Thursday’s tilt but is playing.
Here are the top moments!
Denver Broncos at Kansas City Chiefs
TE duo
After Denver turned the ball over on downs in Kansas City territory, the Chiefs put a field goal on the board. The highlight of the drive came when Mahomes completed a pass to tight end Travis Kelce, who then lateraled the ball to fellow tight end Noah Gray.
It’s a mess
Wilson was intercepted by Chiefs linebacker Nick Bolton on the ensuing possession, but then Mahomes was picked off by Broncos safety Justin Simmons in the red zone. After Denver punted, Kansas City got the ball into the red zone and appeared to be held to another field goal before failing to move the chains on a fake field goal run at the 6-yard line.
Chiefs find the end zone
On third-and-goal, Mahomes found Kadarius Toney out wide, and the WR ran it in for the first touchdown of the match a few minutes before halftime.

PREGAME
