4 winners and 6 losers from the Chiefs’ Week 8 collapse in Denver

Lyle Graversen evaluated the Kansas City Chiefs following their 28-24 defeat against the Denver Broncos in Week 8, highlighting standout performers and costly contributors. Kansas City held a 24-13 fourth-quarter lead before suffering a late collapse. Graversen named Emmett Johnson, Rashee Rice, George Karlaftis, and Patrick Mahomes as the team's winners, praising their productive individual outings despite the team's loss.

Conversely, the writer labeled Kingsley Suamataia, Xavier Worthy, Creed Humphrey, Harrison Butker, team penalties, and the coaching staff as the primary losers. Graversen heavily criticized Kansas City's 11 penalties for 105 yards, questionable fourth-quarter coaching decisions, and offensive miscues that squandered the late lead against Denver.
