Two hours before kickoff for a Chiefs game last fall, fullback Anthony Sherman and his teammates could be found in the locker room, choreographing a touchdown celebration. These dances often come together on Friday afternoons after practice, but Sherman had received late notice that a couple of friends would be in attendance, one of them a member of NASCAR driver Kyle Larson’s crew.
So after Tyreek Hill caught a 63-yard touchdown in the first half against the Los Angeles Chargers, there were Sherman and his teammates, treating Hill as though he was a race car in the midst of a pit stop.
