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.

The blockade forced the fleeing driver to stop and turn himself over to police, investigators said. Around 11:30 p.m.
