WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey: 53.5
-

It was a night to forget for Denver’s wide receivers, including Courtland Sutton, who dropped what could have been a touchdown.
Broncos best defensive players

DL Eyioma Uwazurike: 77.3
Led by a strong showing from the defensive line, Denver held KC’s offense to just 139 net yards. The Chiefs went 4-of-11 (36%) on third downs.
Broncos worst defensive grades

OLB Dondrea Tillman: 50.6
Surtain was dinged for a questionable pass interference penalty that came on an overthrown pass. These grades feel a bit harsh for defenders who only allowed 13 points, and the touchdown came on a short field.
