The Kansas City Chiefs’ defensive line and cheerleaders helped spread holiday spirit Tuesday afternoon with the kids at Operation Breakthrough.
The excitement among the Chiefs and kids built throughout the afternoon as they moved from storytelling and crafts to milk and cookies.
“They look up to us, which is funny because I’m really just a kid like them,” Chiefs’ defensive lineman Chris Jones laughed. “Just to get to interact, have fun and be with them is important. It’s a special time of the year.”
And it’s that holiday spirit that the linemen hoped every child would feel throughout the rest of the season.
