Broncos’ attempt at flea flicker went terribly (and hilariously) wrong against Chiefs
It wasn’t really flea-flicker weather during Sunday’s Chiefs-Broncos game, but Denver’s attempt at the trick play went hilariously wrong. And it had nothing to do with the cold or snow.

Gordon took a handoff from Broncos quarterback Drew Lock, but he tossed the ball too high and it went over Lock’s head. Chiefs defensive end Frank Clark was rushing, and he scooped up the ball and returned it 14 yards.
