On a day of records and streak-busting, one standout of the Chiefs’ 29-13 victory over the Broncos on Sunday performed without much fanfare — the guy responsible for the most points.
Chiefs fans would prefer to see less of kicker Cairo Santos, who jogs onto the field when the offense doesn’t convert on third down. But at least when they see him, there’s a trust that the point total is about to increase.
Santos’ five field goals Sunday kept the production moving when the offense stalled.
In the process, Santos became the second Chiefs player to record at least five field goals in game twice in a season, joining Hall of Famer Jan Stenerud in 1969.
