Patrick Mahomes was hardly prime-time material on “Sunday Night Football” against the rival Broncos, but he never needed to be. With another strong showing from Steve Spagnuolo’s defense, this time against a flailing Teddy Bridgewater and Denver offense that got life only from rookie running back Javonte Williams, the Chiefs claimed an ugly but important Week 13 win on Sunday, beating the Broncos 22-9 to improve to 8-4 and stay atop the AFC West.
Some notable streaks in play today:
– Tom Brady is 9-0 in his career against the Falcons
– The Eagles are 11-0 in franchise history against the Jets
– The Chiefs have won 11 straight against the Broncos
– The Vikings have won 8 straight against the Lions
