The Chiefs lit the fuse for the greatest period in Kansas City sports history the last time they faced the New England Patriots.
One night before the Royals would play an epic wild-card playoff game against the Oakland Athletics, the Chiefs whipped New England 41-14 on Sept. 29, 2014 on “Monday Night Football” at Arrowhead Stadium.
During the second half of the game, many in the crowd of 76,613 fans chanted “Let’s Go Royals!” and the Chiefs readily admitted they were inspired by their Truman Sports Complex neighbors, including starting pitcher James Shields, who was among a group of Royals at the game.
