KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs fans who turned to Twitter to berate Dee Ford after his offsides blunder also made a slip-up.
The Kansas City Star reports that their rage-filled messages went not to the linebacker, but to a 47-year-old woman from Kent, England, with the same name. One sent to her @dee_ford handle read: “You ruined my whole year.” She wondered what happened. It turns out her name-twin’s mistake negated an interception that could have clinched a win against the Patriots and sent the Chiefs to the Super Bowl.
Five years earlier, she also received tweets intended for Ford when he was still a player at Auburn.
