At the time of the incident, the Broncos were down 27-0 with 3:45 left in the first half. Things turned around for Denver as Jeudy went on to have eight receptions for 73 yards and three touchdowns in the Broncos 34-28 loss against the Kansas City Chiefs.

After the game, the Broncos wide receiver spoke out on his behavior and frustrations during the second quarter.

"I was just—on that certain play, I got held," he said, according to FOX. "I was just frustrated because we didn’t have things going, so I was out there playing with frustration wanting to make a play for my team. I feel like at that point, I was just held and that should’ve been called, but I have to know how to control my anger and just move on from there."

With their 10th straight loss, the Denver Broncos were officially eliminated from playoff contention. Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson left the game in the fourth quarter after gaining 14 yards on the scramble. The quarterback then fell on his head along with a Chiefs defender falling on top of him, getting hit hard. He was evaluated for a concussion and was ruled out of the game shortly after.

"(He was) putting his body on the line, man. We can say all we want -- we're 3-9, they're 9-3 and the guy is out there battling his a** off, trying to win the game,'' Broncos backup quarterback Brett Rypien said, per ESPN. "That to me is somebody I want to follow.''

The Denver Broncos will take on the Arizona Cardinals next week.
