Twitter reacts to Chiefs’ Week 6 win vs. Broncos
The Kansas City Chiefs escaped their Week 6 tilt against the Denver Broncos with a win, and despite their two-score margin of victory, dominated their divisional rival in all four quarters.
While this may not have been the flashiest victory of the Patrick Mahomes era, Kansas City got the job done against a Broncos team that played with reckless abandon after a short week of rest.
No wins come easy in the NFL, and this gritty triumph by the Chiefs was a good indicator that Kansas City can still compete, even if its offense falters a bit in the process. Success in primetime has become a hallmark of Andy Reid’s tenure with the Chiefs, and this game constituted Kansas City’s 16th straight victory over Denver.
Fans on Twitter reacted to the win late in the fourth quarter and after the final whistle late on Thursday night.

The chiefs offense get the benefit of the doubt cause they always hit stride late November December but it’s very frustrating to watch even tho it will all be fine and we’ll be playing in arrowhead championship Sunday

Dawg I'm not convinced by the chiefs

The last time the broncos beat the chiefs I didn’t have my driver license yet. I turn 24 next month… just disgusting.

The notion that a Chiefs WR *HAD* to break out was not rooted in precedent or common sense.
If you don’t have concentrated routes, you don’t have a breakout.
With that said, Rice has a chance.

The Chiefs might have some trouble if they ever play anyone good

Pretty much sums up Denver's offense, Perine forced a fumble on himself with his own knee pic.twitter.com/7xww4aZfmh

Shout out to the #Chiefs fans wearing Cheeseheads at Arrowhead during the post game celebrations 😂 I see you!!

Recap of TNF
Broncos defense played well but Russell Wilson and the play calling were abysmal.
Chiefs redzone offense was awful but they found a way to win with Kelce rebounding in a big way.
At some point these cute play calls Andy Reid calls will haunt Kansas City.

A reminder, while the Chiefs offense still hasn't figured it all out, they are the No. 1 seed in the AFC.

The reality in the NFL is division opponents are always tough no matter how bad.
I didn’t take too much stock into Miami only winning by seven on the road in NE. Chiefs will be fine, albeit they do look mortal

It's always dicey talking about this aspect of injuries…but Watson going down has to be the opportunity for the #Chiefs to get more snaps for Rashee Rice. #ChiefsKingdom

Chiefs offense needs a true #1WR. I don't care what anybody says. The offense is not great. The defense has now become the main attraction. I must hope the offense can find their identity….. soon!!!!

Never thought the chiefs would get carried by defense in the mahomes era #chiefs

@Chiefs We may have the # 1 defense in the league!🏹
— DLRC (@ReawsDevon) October 13, 2023
Glad the Chiefs were able to have a “get right” game against the worst defense in the NFL. Woof.
— Big Dummy (@UncleMarty1517) October 13, 2023
#DENvsKC Chiefs obviously have a WR problem. It’s not Mahomes. But…Mahomes is clearly frustrated and it’s impacting his decisions making. Time to stop playing Toney…more Rice and Watson.
— CommonSenseFan (@CommonSenseFan2) October 13, 2023
Mahomes has played 100 games and won 80 of them.. that’s nuts!
— Kingdom Connect (@ChiefsConnect) October 13, 2023
The CHIEFS have a top 5 defense through the first six weeks of the season
…and they get Charles Omenihu back next week 😊

Jerry Jeudy will be a Chief when KC lands in Denver in 2 weeks.

It certainly seems like the Chiefs are trying to play on “All-Madden” mode while only running trick plays. It’s like a test of strength.

Anybody else remember how smug the #Broncos were with us #Chiefs just a few short years ago? #WhatGoesAroundComesAround pic.twitter.com/EdpAyH2Akc

Justin Reid has been underrated. Filled in for Honey Badger really well
Also, our linebackers are studs.
Unlike when we had honey badger, no real superstar on that D aside Chris Jones but lots of very good players.
McDuffie is someone to watch
— Anything Mahomes, Chiefs and J.Cole (@MaskedHomes) October 13, 2023
Damn. That was way uglier than it should’ve been. The #Chiefs should’ve won with over 30 points. At least our defense is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
