Denver’s offensive line allowed eight pressures — including one sack and two quarterback hits — across 44 pass plays against the Chiefs, leading to an 89.8 PFF pass-blocking efficiency rating (10th best in Week 17).
The Broncos kept rotating Alex Palczewski and Ben Powers at left guard, with Palczewski playing in the first and third quarters while Powers was on the field in the second and fourth quarters. However, the former struggled in pass protection, surrendering three pressures — including two quarterback hits — on just 18 pass plays.

Bolles' 90.7 PFF pass-blocking grade this season leads all offensive tackles.

Right tackle Darnell Wright dominated in the defeat, pacing all offensive linemen in Week 17 with a 90.7 PFF overall grade. His 92.7 PFF run-blocking grade ranked third among all players.
