When Pat Surtain II learned the Broncos defense finished the regular season with a league-high 63 sacks, he asked to hear the number again. “Sixty-(three)? That’s unheard of,” Surtain said. “Credit to (the defensive line). They get after the quarterback. It makes our job in the back end much easier, knowing the guys up front generate pressures and sacks.” Denver recorded the 14th-most sacks in a single season after notching five in its 38-0 win over the Chiefs at home on Sunday.

The Broncos beat the Chiefs to finish the regular season 10-7 on Sunday and clinch the No. 7 seed in the AFC and a date with the Buffalo Bills in the Wild Card round of the playoffs. The Broncos will travel to Buffalo to take on the No. 2-seeded Bills at 11 a.m.

OFFENSE — A Sean Payton had the Denver offense ready to roll from the start. He had a nifty fake reverse in his bag and deployed it perfectly as soon as the Broncos got solidly into Chiefs territory.

A look at how the Broncos’ rookies played in their 38-0 win over the Chiefs on Sunday. Highlight: A game of hot potato in the back of the end zone led to Bo Nix’s third touchdown pass of the first half. His throw intended for tight end Adam Trautman was tipped three times before rookie wideout Devaughn Vele secured the catch to extend Denver’s lead to 21-0 with 11:05 to go in the second quarter.
