Chiefs vs. Broncos: KC leads after Nick Bolton INT, Brashard Smith TD

[ASFN Admin]

The Kansas City Chiefs were quick to score a touchdown in their Christmas Day matchup against the Denver Broncos at Arrowhead Stadium.

After the Broncos took an early 3-0 lead in the first quarter, linebacker Nick Bolton made a diving interception off a tipped ball by defensive back Kristian Fulton on Denver's second drive.

Quarterback Chris Oladokun marched the offense down the field for a ten-play, 35-yard drive that ended in a touchdown reception by running back Brashard Smith.

Take a look at these videos of Bolton's interception and Smith's touchdown, which were posted to Twitter by the Chiefs' official account:

Thursday's matchup marks Oladokun's first NFL start after the loss of quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Gardner Minshew in Weeks 15 and 16, respectively.

The Chiefs will look to play spoiler against the Broncos, who can clinch the first overall seed in the AFC playoffs with a win against the reigning conference champions.
