Twitter reacts to Broncos snapping 16-game losing streak to Chiefs
The Denver Broncos defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 24-9 at home on Sunday, snapping a 16-game losing streak that dated back to 2015.
Here’s a sampling of how Twitter/X reacted to the upset win.
It looked like Sunday was shaping up to be a snow game, but the Broncos managed to get the field clear in time for kickoff.

This just in: For the first time since Sept. 17, 2015, when Peyton Manning started for Denver and Alex Smith for Kansas City — a span of 16 straight regular-season games — the Broncos have beaten the Chiefs. pic.twitter.com/3KVrTMAtTb

These are the days I dreamed of when the Broncos traded for Sean Payton.
In his second game against the Chiefs he ended the 16-game losing streak despite Russell Wilson.
Coaching matters.

The #Chiefs had won 16 straight over the Broncos and Patrick Mahomes had never lost to the Broncos, never lost a divisional game on the road (was 16-0), and had never lost a game to a team at least 2 games under .500 (was 25-0). https://t.co/0Lcohh2vkZ

Finally! @Broncos great job TEAM.

Gotta give credit where it’s due, Vance Joseph and his unit just gave Mahomes the worst game of his career and ended a 16 game losing streak.

Vance Joseph went from giving up 70 to shutting down Patrick Mahomes.
What a roller coaster.

I don't watch every Chiefs game, but I haven't seen Mahomes under this much pressure since they lost to Tampa in the Super Bowl.. #Broncos

The defense that gave up 70 points to the Miami Dolphins a little more than a month ago, has held Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs to 9 points and zero touchdowns with 3:17 to go in this game.

Give Vance credit now he got the defense playing way better

The Broncos allowed 70 points to the Dolphins and 9 to the Chiefs a month later.
The NFL is wild.

The Broncos defense has been absolutely incredible today
They've intercepted Patrick Mahomes two times, sacked him three times, forced two fumbles, have held KC to 3-of-10 on third down, and 1-of-3 on fourth down and 0-3 in the red zone.

Congratulations @jsimms1119. Incredible player that finally can celebrate beating the Chiefs. #welldeserved

For the 1st time since September 17th 2015 the Broncos will beat the Chiefs!!
I know KC didn’t play well & I know this hurts the draft position, but I don’t care about that right now. The “its all we know” culture of losing to KC needed to end. Broncos exercised a demon today.

My daughter is in second grade. She just saw the Broncos beat the Chiefs for the first time in her life.

Worry about tomorrow, tomorrow.
Celebrate this one today, #BroncosCountry.
Your Broncos played their best game in ages. They made the champs look like chumps, turning a colossus into stumblebums.
The Broncos were heroes, just for one day.
Broncos 24, Chiefs 9 — FINAL

The Broncos are now set to go into their bye in Week 9 ahead of a road game against the Buffalo Bills in Week 10. Denver’s fans couldn’t be happier going into the bye.
