Watching this on NFL Network - by the way their announcers are pretty good and make the clowns we had Sunday look REALLY bad.
Manning looks somewhat better but man, four Personal Fouls in a little over one quarter by the Denver defense. Also two fumbles by the Chiefs and a truly brain dead call for timeout by Manning on fourth down that cost the Broncos a first down...
And...Pick six by Manning!

I saw Sanders do one of those "flip and land on your back for no reason" sort of dives into the endzone. Oy, what pointless stupidity stuff like that is. Oh well.

wow, (the kool-aid man) andy reid decides to throw it twice before the 2 minute warning. instead of running it with arguably the best back in the league and the broncos out of timeouts. picked-off.

When your gifted with a HOF QB you play to his strengths.

It sounds a little silly to call an All-Pro player underrated, but a lot of people don't even think of Jamaal Charles when talking about the best RBs in the game. If he could stay healthy he would be in the conversation for not just the current best, but one of the best of all time.
He has scored more tds over the last two years (33) than any other player in the league.
He has been in the league 7 years and has never had a season where he averaged less than 5.0 yards a carry.
No RB in the last 60 years has a higher career average per carry than Charles' 5.5.
Over the last decade only 4 other RBs have had a season with at least 72.0 rushing yards per game and 5.5 yards per carry (only Adrian Peterson did it twice), but those are Charles CAREER averages over 96 games.
Only one other RB in history had a season with at least 1400 rushing yards and an average of 6.4 per carry. (Jim Brown '63)
Only 5 other players in NFL history have had a season with at least 1200 rushing yards, 70 receptions, and a 5.0 yards per carry average.

He is a good RB.
Basically, this game is tied due to inept playcalling by the Chiefs.

Now THAT was a FG kick! He made 54 yards and probably could have made another 10 on that kick.

By far one of the better TNF games I have watched in a while. Usually the Thursday night games are boring. Huge win for the Broncos IMO.
