Julius Thomas’ rocket start to the season didn’t exempt him from the wrath of his quarterback.
The Denver Broncos tight end hauled in a touchdown — his fourth in two games — Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs but later found himself in Peyton Manning’s crosshairs after what appeared to be a blown route.
The rest of the game seemed to be smooth sailing between QB and tight end, though. Thomas finished with four catches on five targets for 39 yards and the one score.
Knile Davis punched in a fourth-quarter touchdown to bring the Jamaal Charles-less Chiefs to within four, but a Brandon McManus field goal and a last-minute goal-line stand allowed the Broncos to escape with a 24-17 win at Mile High.
