Marcus Reyes: "Denver threw 39 times and ran 6, which meant Kansas City's front four got to live in the backfield all afternoon—Chris Jones alone had 3 sacks—while the ground game that should've kept them honest generated 10 yards and vanished." Riley Parker: "Denver threw the ball 39 times because the line kept folding—6 sacks allowed means Bo Nix spent half the afternoon running for his life, and when you're that desperate to escape, 4 interceptions stops being bad luck and starts being inevitable."

Chiefs 59, Broncos 28, and it was not that close. Patrick Mahomes threw for Chiefs — 12/17, 292 yards, 4 TD. Bo Nix was steady for Broncos — 20/39, 328 yards, 3 TD, 4 INT — in a losing effort. Worth noting: Elijah Arroyo, 80 overall, is 4 in the league in receiving yards. On the ground: Chiefs 176, Broncos 10.

Daniel Keller: "Denver threw on 79% of plays and Bo Nix completed 24 of 33 for 373 yards and 5 touchdowns—efficiency masquerading as volume. Los Angeles turned it over 4 times and allowed 7 sacks, which is a recipe for 55-13 any afternoon." Roman Vaughn: "Denver just showed it can play winning football when everything clicks—Bo Nix throwing 5 touchdowns and the offense humming at full speed is a statement that this team has real talent, and at 1-2 they're still in the hunt because of performances exactly like this one."

Denver routed Los Angeles 55-13 behind Bo Nix, who completed 24 of 33 passes for 373 yards and 5 touchdowns. The Broncos dominated with 463 total yards to the Rams' 212 and forced 4 turnovers while committing none, with Denver's defense recording 7 sacks. Elijah Arroyo caught 9 passes for 109 yards and a touchdown in the blowout that leaves both teams at 1-2.

Nobody wanted to play defence. Jaguars won the shootout 48-41. Trevor Lawrence threw for Jaguars — 24/31, 309 yards, 7 TD. Bo Nix threw for Broncos — 15/27, 347 yards, 5 TD, 1 INT — in a losing effort. On the ground: Jaguars 173, Broncos 28.
