Bo Nix and Sean Payton almost pull off a shock at Arrowhead in Week 10, but the Kansas City Chiefs ended up gaining the upper hand against the Denver Broncos.
The defending Super Bowl champions extended their perfect start to the 2024 NFL season to nine games with a dramatic 16-14 victory over the Broncos.
The game was a nail-biter until the very end, with the Broncos having a chance to win it with a last-second field goal attempt. However, Kansas City linebacker Leo Chenal came up with a huge block to deny the Broncos and preserve the Chiefs’ perfect record.
Cornerback Jaylen Watson, who is currently sidelined with an ankle injury, took to social media to celebrate the win, taking a dig at Nix and Payton’s team for seemingly preparing to celebrate before the game was over.
“They was ready to celebrate like they won the Super Bowl it ain’t Eva over wit Chiefs’s kingdom boyyy,” Watson wrote on his X (formerly known as Twitter) account.
