You’ve heard of Saturday night football, and Sunday night football but have you ever watched Monday night football? The first game was played last night September, 14. It was the Kansas City Chiefs against the Denver Broncos. It was a tough game but the Chiefs pulled through after first quarter and defeated the Broncos 31 to 10.
The Denver Broncos lost the coin toss which brought Bo Nix their star quarterback to the offense side of the field. The first play of the game, the Chiefs pass rush collapse on Nix almost immediately for three yard loss. Patrick Mahomes the Chiefs star quarterback came out with three straight runs to Kenneth Walker.
They wouldn’t get a first down, but on fourth and two, Mahomes handed off to Walker again who was able to power forward for the first down into field goal range. After an incompletion, a quick pass outside to Xavier Worthy picked up nine to bring up a third and one and they converted again on another on Walker, inside run to the Denver 20. The Chiefs first drive was the Kenneth Walker show, all the way until they decided to pass on second and goal from the 5. A holding penalty held them back, but Mahomes broke containment after initial pressure and scrambled up the middle for the first touchdown of the game for Chiefs.
By the end of the first quarter, it was 7 to 7. Bo Nix was 5/5 for 55 yards and that touchdown on the drive. A solid response to an ugly interception on that first drive. After forcing a quick three-and-out the Broncos got the ball back out late in the first quarter inside their own 10 yard line. They would commit an early penalty that looked to derail their drive early, but a play action pass to Engram gained all but one yard back. On third and one, Nix pitched to Harvey outside who picked up the first down. Then the first quarter came to an end.
With the Chiefs playing their first game with their quarterback Patrick Mahomes coming back from an ACL surgery, they played well and won their first season game. Then the Broncos quarterback Bo Nix coming back from an ankle fracture they played well against the Chiefs and hope to win their next season game.
