Anybody who was watching my Kansas City Chiefs beat the Houston Texans Sunday night (we’re 5-0!) may have noticed some players who were on one knee.
Five seconds in, after the opening kickoff, as the camera watched a pile of shoulder-padded humanity climb off the turf, it soon became clear that one of the players wasn’t moving. Several seconds went by, and he still wasn’t moving. The medics and trainers and coaches ran out to offer assistance, while other players were properly shooed away to make room for the helpers.
Helpless, and concerned for the welfare of Chiefs player Steven Terrell, some players were seen on one knee.
