Home at last for the Chiefs, who play host to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
“We finally get to go home,” defensive lineman Chris Jones said. “We’ve been on the road forever.”
It’s only been two weeks, but the NFL prefers to have teams open with one game each at home and on the road. That didn’t happen for the Chiefs this year because of the Taylor Swift concert at Arrowhead during the first weekend of the season and the Royals playing at home on Sunday.
The Chiefs weren’t deterred, winning both games as underdogs, at the Los Angeles Chargers in the first week and taking their first victory at Pittsburgh since 1986 on Sunday.
