For one of the few times all night, Arrowhead Stadium was quiet.
With only 47 seconds left in their prime-time showdown against Washington, the Chiefs had the ball at their own 25-yard line, with the score knotted at 20. If the Chiefs were going to extend their reign as the NFL’s lone undefeated team, it was time for someone –– anyone –– to be a hero.
The Chiefs have consistently had a number of players step up in crunch time under coach Andy Reid, and true to form, that would prove to be the case in a 29-20 victory over Washington in front of an announced crowd of 74,587 at Arrowhead Stadium.
