          DENVER -- The Denver Broncos found a way to put up 21 points in less than four minutes Sunday, with the third touchdown coming on a 66-yard catch-and-run play by running back Marlon Mack.

          Mack, who was signed off the San Francisco 49ers' practice squad on Oct. 24, took a short pass from quarterback Russell Wilson and moved through the Kansas City Chiefs' defense before stumbling into the end zone with 13 minutes, 3 seconds left in the third quarter.

          The Broncos found themselves down 27-0, as the Chiefs had piled on 21 points in the second quarter. But interceptions late in the first half by linebacker Josey Jewell and then cornerback Pat Surtain II off Patrick Mahomes on back-to-back possessions just before halftime both led to Broncos' touchdowns and helped chip away at their deficit.
