Each loss in football is painful in its own way, and it often depends on the context and expectations surrounding the game. But losing 38-0 is something that the Chiefs will feel embarrassed about for a long time.
After such a big defeat against the Broncos, everyone on the team must feel frustrated, especially being a team ranked as the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs with a 15-2 record. However, cameras mostly focused on quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who was clearly upset after the terrific loss on Monday. This poor performance could have an impact on how fans and analysts view Patrick Mahomes player odds heading into the postseason.
Patrick Mahomes watched from the sidelines as the Kansas City Chiefs faced the Denver Broncos. Since the Chiefs had already secured the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs, head coach Andy Reid decided to rest his starters, including Mahomes, to keep them healthy for the playoffs.
But no one, not even Mahomes or Chiefs fans, expected their team to lose 38-0 in such a shocking blowout. The Broncos, needing a win to secure the seventh seed in the playoffs, played with determination and left Mahomes visibly frustrated with the Chiefs’ poor performance.

Backup quarterback Carson Wentz started in Mahomes’ place. Unfortunately, he struggled, completing only 10 passes for 98 yards and scoring no points. Meanwhile, Broncos rookie Bo Nix had an incredible game, throwing for over 300 yards and four touchdowns.
The Broncos dominated the Chiefs’ weakened lineup, delivering a crushing shutout to the reigning AFC champions. However, the Chiefs have secured their position in the playoffs. In light of this positive development, Mahomes recently shared some exciting family news.
