At the four minute mark, Mahomes competed a swing pass to the left for a 14 yard gain. The next completion by Mahomes gained 18 yards. At the 2:30 mark, Mahomes completed a pass for a 20 yard gain.

At the 11:32 mark, the Chiefs had moved the ball to the Broncos 40 yard line. Mahomes then threw two consecutive incomplete passes. On third down, Mahomes threw a pass into the end zone that was caught, but everyone thought the pass was incomplete. The Chiefs didn't challenge the call or even appear upset. Upon video review, by the TV announcers... it was not an official review, the ball never touched the ground and it was in the hands of the KC wide receiver. It should have been a Kansas City touchdown. The Chiefs quickly punted for some reason and the Broncos were happy that they did.

The next Bronco drive started at the 10 yard line. Lindsay gained about seven yards on the first two plays. Gordon came in on third down and almost took it to the house. He gained 65 yards.

On first and goal, Lock threw a pass that looked as if it was caught out of bounds, but it was ruled a touchdown. The Broncos decided to try a two point conversion and failed.

During the week

Talk focused on Drew's future with the Broncos. Despite playing well against the Chiefs, people think that if Drew returns next year, he will be the backup quarterback. Why people don't want to see Rypien is beyond me. Rypien is said to be too intellectual for the Broncos, which is odd. You could say that about two past Denver quarterbacks and each of them won a Superbowl...Peyton and Elway.

There was talk about the draft. Sports talk has Denver drafting a quarterback, a right tackle and a corner back.

Outlook

The Panthers are coming off a week 13 bye. The Broncos have a 33% winning percentage on the road. The Broncos average 22 points per game on the road while giving up 27 points. The Broncos last road win was on October 18 against the Patriots. A lot of people in Colorado expect the Broncos to win this game.

The Last Four Games

The Carolina Panthers were outscored by 6 points, 1 win

The Denver Broncos were outscored by 52 points, 1 win

The Last Two Games

The Carolina Panthers outscored their opponents by 19 points, 1 win

The Denver Broncos were outscored by 34 points, 0 wins

Remember when the Broncos beat the Patriots?

That happened in week 6, it's now week 14. The Patriots winning percentage since then is 50%, the Broncos winning percentange since then is 29%.

I have decided to take a snapshot of the NFL at this point in time and to track how tems have changed. Football is a game of adjustments.

Below I have two lists. One is a list of what all of the NFL teams have done since this point in time, the other is a standard look at the teams, a view of the entire season. The AFC west is color coded. The teams the Broncos play outside their division are colored lime. The rest of the NFL is a dark gray. Each line contains the team name, their winning percentage, their number of wins, the number of games they've played, the points their offense has scored and then their net points, which is the difference between what the team scores and what they allow.
