KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Denver Broncos turned a short-yardage look into a big-play touchdown on Sunday.
On third-and-2 from the Kansas City Chiefs' 32-yard line, Denver flashed its power with a three-tight-end formation that hinted at a short-yardage run.

It gave the Broncos a 14-3 lead with 6:39 left in the first half and made Nix 10-of-13 for 127 yards and two touchdowns. Nix had thrown a touchdown pass to rookie Devaughn Vele earlier in the second quarter.
