An equipment container that contained some of the Chiefs' shoulder pads, helmets and footballs was not unloaded on Saturday and instead accidentally made its way to Newark, New Jersey where it now is being rushed back to Boston in time for Sunday's 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff between Kansas City and the New England Patriots, per league sources.
It was roughly 35 players' bags, according to a source.
Kansas City is responsible, not the Patriots or the league. The Chiefs did not take the equipment off the plane.
"I never heard that before" said one source.
