Sour Play of the Week: With Kansas City leading Denver 17-7, the Broncos faced third-and-goal on the Chiefs' 12. How could Brandon Marshall possibly be open in the end zone? To that point, he had 80 receptions on the season. There were three Kansas City pass defenders standing around guarding no one as Marshall caught a touchdown. Later, with the game tied at 17, Kansas City seemed surprised when Denver threw to Marshall in the end zone for the win.

Not a fair assessment.
The first TD was just a great throw by Cutler, and a great job getting two feet inbounds by Marshall. If I remember right, the coverage was actually decent on that play.
The second TD pass wasn’t thrown into the end zone, and the Chiefs weren’t surprised by it – they simply couldn’t tackle Marshall, which was the actual bad thing about the play.
