Tyrann Mathieu walks back comments on Chiefs fan base; Andy Reid offers his thoughts

Safety Tyrann Mathieu and linebacker Anthony Hitchens, properly considered the two most important leaders of the Kansas City Chiefs defense, made headlines in Kansas City on Saturday for all the wrong reasons.

It all began when a fan-run Instagram account, “Arrowhead Nation,” posted a photo of defensive end Frank Clark that included an insulting exercise in its caption: “Rank these 3 Brett Veach moves in terms of how bad they were.”

Among the options was, “Signing Anthony Hitchens to a 5 year $45 million contract with over $20 million guaranteed.”

Hitchens found the post and responded with a comment from his own official Instagram account.
