SAN FRANCISCO
Shortly before the Chiefs’ 23-13 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Oct. 25, former Chiefs star Tony Gonzalez allowed himself to think about the future.
Gonzalez was down on the field before the game, banging the team’s huge ceremonial drum, when he looked up at the Ring of Honor that surrounds the interior lining of the stadium.
“I was seeing all the names up there of guys I’d played with, thinking you know what, maybe one day my name will be up there, too,” Gonzalez said.
Gonzalez, to be sure, was just being modest.
