GAME SUMMARY
If you look at the Bronco stats from this game and think they are
a lousy team with a good record then you don't understand Bronco
football.  A Bronco game means throw away the first 55 minutes of
the game and then give it to Elway.  6 minutes to go,  Elway fumbles
K.C. recovers.  Broncos D holds K.C. at the 18 and forces a field 
goal. 5 minutes to go,  on the 20, the officals have made terrible
calls all day (against both teams), Broncos starting center (Keith
Kartz) has been EJECTED, Broncos haven't scored a touchdown in 175
minutes of football, down by 13.  Big deal, give it to Elway.  Broncos
take it eighty yards and cap it off with a 25 yard strike to Mark
Jackson with 1:55 to go.  Broncos kick off and K.C's rookie returner
takes it at the two and tries to return it, but he's stopped at the 
five yard line.  3 plays and out.  The punt goes to Broncos rookie
returner Arthur Marshall AND HE FUMBLES!  Arthur scoops the ball off
the turf and the Mile High Stadium Ghost throws a block his way, Marshall
takes it 28 yards to the 27!  Then you can see it,  In Elway's eyes and
his stride,  in the posture of the Broncos on the field,  in the hearts
of the K.C. defenders.  Elway is gonna score, and nothing can stop it.
Vance Johnson just off injured reserve comes into the huddle and Elway
says "If we get man coverage, I'm throwing to you."  Johnson lines 
up trying to hide his excitement and breaks for the right hand
corner of the endzone, Elway puts up a perfect touch pass, TOUCHDOWN!
The stadium was so wild the camera operators couldn't hold the game
clock inside its little window.  38 seconds.  David Treadwell comes
in to kick the game winning PAT, bounces it off the right hand 
upright and through.  Nothing about Bronco football is easy to watch!
K.C. had all its timeouts left and 38 seconds to score something.
They throw a 30 yarder on the first play.  But after that the Broncos
D settled in and held them at the 50. Game Over. This was a very
important win for the Broncos emotionally. They are now 4-1 and have
sole position of first place in the AFC West.  Next week, monday
night in Washington..
