KANSAS CITY,  Mo. — Here’s a look at whose stock improved or declined after the Broncos’ 16-14 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

The play was perfect, and it perfectly symbolized how the Regis Jesuit Raiders executed their offensive game plan on Sunday afternoon.
On a first-and-10 play from their own 45, freshman quarterback Luke Rubley handed the ball off to sophomore running back Joe Pron, who approached the line of scrimmage and then tossed it back to Rubley, who then found senior Peyton Lindell all alone behind the secondary.

Stat line: 22-for-30 passing for 215 yards, two touchdowns; two carries, minus-2 yards
Highlight: Bo Nix’s 32-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Courtland Sutton was a thing of beauty. Sutton did a fantastic job creating separation from cornerback Trent McDuffie before Nix placed the ball perfectly in the end zone to give Denver a 14-3 lead in the second quarter.More | Talk | Read It Later | Share
