Thanks to a handful of miraculous escapes, the defending Super Bowl champions are one of only 22 teams since 1970 to start the season with nine straight wins.

The Chiefs continued their escape act to remain undefeated. But they weren't the only Super Bowl favorites to record a comeback win.

Against the Denver Broncos, the Chiefs dug an early 14-3 hole before slowly coming to life. With their run game shuttered — Kansas City’s tailbacks averaged 2.4 yards per carry — Patrick Mahomes had a typical 2024 performance. He didn’t overwhelm with gaudy numbers, but he put his team in position to win with a late scoring drive.
