KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- On Sunday night, on the play that effectively allowed the Kansas City Chiefs to clinch their fifth straight win, defensive back Dan Sorensen was left with no responsibilities in particular. His job was to cover Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams but Williams stayed in to pass block.
Sorensen made an impact, anyway. He stayed in the middle of the field and then cut in front of intended receiver Tim Patrick to make an interception. His 75-yard return for a touchdown not only gave the Chiefs a commanding 19-point lead in the fourth quarter, but perhaps allowed Sorensen to complete the dramatic transition in the eyes of Chiefs fans from villain to hero.
