Like Bolton's alma matter, the Chiefs have pulled off some magical victories in one-score games. Kansas City has now won each of the last 14 one-score games it has been a part of.
The fumble recovery for Bolton was the second of his career during the regular season. His most iconic recovery came in Super Bowl LVII, when he returned a fumble from the Philadelphia Eagles for a touchdown, inspiring Missouri football's "Bolton drill" for scoop and score situations.
Bolton and the Chiefs will look to continue their dominance in the AFC West, hosting the Los Angeles Chargers.
