[quote name='Doomtime']Kansas City Chiefs survive the Denver Broncos 38-35 in a game where Madden was certainly out to get them. This was the Chiefs's closest game of the season.
The Chiefs were penalized 4 times on the day for 53 yards. (Which is a lot in this game) Two of which were phantom pass interference calls.
The Broncos also caught two ridiculous 1 handed picks. One by Champ Bailey(which is actually believable) and the other by D.J. Williams.
Jamaal Charles was also knocked out of the game for the 3rd quarter, so I had to hold my breath on that one.
The Chiefs went up 38-28 after a pick six by Derrick Johnson. However, Denver marched right down the field and hit Brandon Lloyd with 53 seconds to go.
Newcomer Miles Austin thankfully recovered the onside kick.
Getting punched in the mouth by the Broncos reminded me of the whippings I took last season. It wasn't a pleasant memory to relive.
As for the positives,
Charles 20 ATT 193 Yds 2 TD

I've gotta say that was a ridiculously good game. Probably one of my more memorable ones this season. It was pretty much back and forth, and it had it's share of intense moments. I was going nuts when Jamaal Charles went down and he was holding his leg, I figured he'd blown out his knee or something like that. Man that game was hard fought, I was so mad when that punt took a freak bounce and kicked off my leg and resulted in a recovery for you at the 3 Yard Line. That was huge and basically cost me the game. Well besides the Interception to DJ but that was later, although it didn't help my case either. I guess I learned to stay out of the way of the punt unless I"m going to field it. This loss really sucks, and pretty much spells the end of the season for me. I feel like I'm headed in the right direction with the Broncos and I'm happy with the team I've built.
On another note, Julius Thomas is having himself quite a rookie season with 8 Rec TDs and 826 Rec Yards, He's been big on YAC as well with 271.
