Broncos' head coach Vance Joseph attempted to ice Texans' placekicker Ka'imi Fairbairn prior to attempting a half-ending 46-yard field. The initial attempt missed wide right, however, Fairbairn's second attempt was successful, giving the Texans a 16–10 lead. The Broncos took their first and only lead of the game, with quarterback Case Keenum throwing a 12-yard touchdown pass to tight end Jeff Heuerman, which was the only scoring play of the third quarter.
However, four plays later, after the Broncos had reached the Chiefs' 39-yard line, Keenum was strip-sacked by Dee Ford, with Chiefs' linebacker Breeland Speaks recovering the fumble. The Broncos' defense forced a Chiefs punt, however, on the next possession, Keenum was intercepted by cornerback Kendall Fuller near midfield. Following an exchange of punts, and after burning two of their three team timeouts, the Broncos drove 46 yards in ten plays, with a 36-yard field goal by McManus pulling the Broncos to within a 30–23 deficit just after the two-minute warning. The Broncos' defense forced a three-and-out from the Chiefs, and the Broncos had one last offensive play, however, with only four seconds left and no timeouts, their last desperation play of the game was unsuccessful. The Cleveland Browns took the early lead, with quarterback Baker Mayfield launching a 31-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Breshad Perriman.

Wiggins has been working for several weeks helping the stadium staff to perfect the recipes for ones like the “breakfast” pizza topped with fried egg and bacon. With the addition of Marcus Peters, Ndamukong Suh and Brandin Cooks, the Rams have made it clear they're gunning for a Super Bowl appearance this season. As such, they'll likely provide one of the toughest tests of the season for the Broncos. Last year, Denver raced out to a 3-1 start and stumbled down the stretch to finish 5-11.

NFL News
Manning retired from the NFL as the game’s all-time leader in yards passing and touchdowns following the 2015 season. This will mark the ninth season since the NFL mandated that regular-season schedules end with division games. Playing the Chargers at home ensures that the Broncos will have closed the season with each of their division opponents three times since the league changed its Week 17 protocol.
They've since signed "Jimmy G." to a long-term contract extension, and he's given San Francisco fans a reason to believe the best is yet to come. After taking over in Week 12 last season, he led the 49ers to wins in all five of his starts. Broncos Ring of Famer John Lynch hasn't relaxed during his second season as the 49ers' general manager. They are yet another team that has seen its share of changes over the last year, as longtime Seattle Seahawk Richard Sherman joined the fold this offseason. Los Angeles has arguably the most-talented roster in the AFC West, and many believe the Chargers will be division favorites in 2018.
The Chiefs eliminated the Broncos from playoff contention with a blowout win at the end of 2016, and things weren't much better in 2017 when the Broncos turned the ball over five times. The Broncos were the top points scorers in the Championship, scoring 907 points in their 23 regular season games, at an average of nearly 40 points per game. The 68-0 drubbing of Rochdale Hornets was London's biggest win of the regular season, and largest ever points difference win in the Championship for the club. The season defining win crucially leaves the fate of the Broncos in their own hands going into their final game of the regular campaign, a trip to Craven Park, Barrow-in-Furness, home of Barrow Raiders. A crushing thirteen try 72–6 rout of the Cumbrians secures a place in the Super League Qualifiers, and second spot in the Betfred Championship for the third successive season behind winners, Toronto Wolfpack. The Broncos can now look forward to four home games in the Super League Qualifiers and just edge out Toulouse Olympique and Halifax R.L.F.C. on points difference with Featherstone Rovers and Leigh Centurions consigned to the Championship Shield.
Game 5 of the qualifiers campaign saw the London Broncos travel to familiar foes, Hull Kingston Rovers, and despite a gutsy display on Yorkshire's east coast, the Southerners came up short, on the wrong end of an 18–30 score line. The Broncos returned home to host Salford Red Devils seven days later, the match moved forward 24 hours at the behest of the Rugby Football League to accommodate broadcast partner, Sky Sports' scheduling of the final round of fixtures the following week. In one of the most memorable games seen in the Capital in recent times, the Londoners emerged victorious 11-8 after a titanic battle against their Betfred Super League opponents. The heavens had opened mid morning and continued long into the night, but the inclement weather failed to deter captain, Jay Pitts who scored the home side's only try of the afternoon with a close-range effort after 14 minutes. Thereafter, a combination of heroic defence and the ever-reliable kicking boot of Jarrod Sammut, was enough to see Danny Ward’s team secure two crucial points, and leave their promotion aspirations very much alive with one game of the Super League Qualifiers, at home to Halifax, remaining.
This will also mark the ninth time in the last 10 seasons that the Broncos have ended their regular season at home. On June 20, the Broncos reached a temporary naming rights agreement for their home stadium. Colorado-based sporting goods retailer Sports Authority previously held the naming rights for the Broncos' stadium from 2011 to 2017, despite going bankrupt in 2016. Shortly after the end of the 2017 season, the Broncos removed the old signage from the exterior of their stadium – formerly known as "Sports Authority Field at Mile High," and previously known as "Invesco Field at Mile High" from 2001 to 2010.
The Raiders took a 12–0 lead on a pair of field goals by placekicker Mike Nugent – a 26-yarder on the opening drive followed by a 46-yarder early in the second quarter – and a 1-yard touchdown run by running back Marshawn Lynch just before halftime. The extra-point attempt on the Lynch touchdown was blocked by Broncos' linebacker Shaquil Barrett. The Chargers took the opening possession of the second half and added to their lead, with Rivers throwing his second touchdown pass – a 6-yarder to tight end Antonio Gates.
