The Chiefs’ pass rush, batted balls and all, doesn’t get home
The Kansas City Chiefs’ defense dominated early against Denver, leading the NFL in batted balls with George Karlaftis recording three knockdowns, yet they failed to pressure quarterback Bo Nix enough to secure the win. ESPN stats show the Chiefs pressured only 2 of 34 dropbacks (6%), the lowest rate since 2024 and the poorest under Andy Reid. Denver capitalized on Nix’s rollout runs, completing 5 of 7 passes for 67 yards and two touchdowns, while the Chiefs recorded just one quarterback hit. Defensive tackle Chris Jones cites a need to improve one‑on‑one pass rush after the 15‑point fourth‑quarter surge that handed the Broncos the AFC West lead.

Chiefs Starter Benched Again by Andy Reid Ahead of Broncos Clash
Andy Reid benches starting left guard Kingsley Suamataia for the second time, opting for veteran Mike Caliendo ahead of the Chiefs’ November 2 showdown with Denver.
