KANSAS CITY, Mo. – I wondered before the Kansas City Chiefs' most recent game against the Detroit Lions in London whether their fans would watch in their usual numbers. The game not only kicked off at 8:30 a.m. Kansas City time, making it the first early morning start in memory and perhaps franchise history, but had other factors going against it.
That was a waste of time because, of course, Chiefs fans watched in their usual numbers. According to figures provided by WDAF, the Fox affiliate that aired the game in the Kansas City area, Chiefs-Lions drew a 28.
