Wilson walked away from the game while the Broncos made an official departure from their playoff possibilities. Incidentally, it was their tenth loss in what has been a disappointing season. Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes can smile as the 34-28 win has taken the Chiefs to a superior 10-3 record in the NFL.
