After signing to the Kansas City Chiefs practice squad on November 29, veteran defensive tackle Brandon Williams was then promoted to the Chiefs’ active roster on December 8, priming him for his first game with the defending AFC West champions. He then took to Twitter after his debut to talk a little bit of trash.
Williams, 33, played in Kansas City’s 34-28 win over Denver in Week 14, albeit in a limited fashion. He was on the field for a total of 15 defensive snaps, per PFF, and recorded 1 quarterback hit and half a sack.
After the game, Williams had this to say about his Chiefs debut:
“First Dub(W) and #Sack as a @Chiefs!!!!! HOW YOU LIKE THEM APPLES!!!! #RedKingdom LFG!!!!! #FSU Chiefs Ride Horses….. Not The Other Way Around!!!! #Tamed #NiceHorsey #RedHulk,” Williams wrote on December 11.

Chiefs 1-0 Against Broncos This Season
In one of Kansas City’s ugliest offensive outings of the season, the Chiefs beat the Broncos 34-28 in Week 14.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw 3 interceptions for the third time in his career against Denver. He also tallied 352 yards and 3 touchdowns while completing 66% of his passes against Denver’s elite defense.
Mahomes’ top pass catcher against the Broncos was veteran running back Jerick McKinnon, who caught 7 passes on 9 targets for 112 yards and 2 receiving touchdowns. Next up on the list was JuJu Smith-Schuster, who caught 9-of-11 targets for 74 yards and 1 touchdown.
Chiefs RB Jerick McKinnon catches the screen pass, follows his blockers, and dives his way into the endzone for his 2nd TD today. PAT is good.
Rookie running back Isiah Pacheco closed out the game for the Chiefs en route to a 13-carry, 70-yard performance on the ground. He also caught 3 passes on 3 targets for 23 yards.
Easy 17-yard catch-and-run for #Chiefs rookie running back Isiah Pacheco on the second offensive play of the game.
Denver QB Russell Wilson had arguably his best outing in a Broncos uniform versus Kansas City. He completed 63% of his passes for 247 yards and a season-high 3 passing touchdowns. He also threw 1 interception. All 3 of his touchdown passes were to third-year receiver Jerry Jeudy, who caught a total of 8 passes for 73 yards.
A win over the Denver improves Kansas City’s record to 10-3 on the season. That keeps them firmly in first place in the AFC West ahead of the Los Angeles Chargers (6-6), Las Vegas Raiders (5-8), and Broncos (3-10).
Because the Chargers upset the Miami Dolphins on Sunday Night Football in Week 14, the Chiefs will have another opportunity to lock up the division title with a win in Week 15 along with a loss by the Chargers, who will face the Tennessee Titans.
