The Kansas City Chiefs had no intention of forfeiting Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots. If the Chiefs couldn’t wear their own equipment, they were going to play the game wearing high school helmets.
Yes, really. The team was prepared to wear helmets from Masconomet Regional High School if the Chiefs’ official equipment didn’t arrive in time, according to Dom Nicastro of the MetroWest Daily News.
Masconomet Regional High School athletic director John Daileanes received a call Sunday from someone at Riddell — a company that makes football helmets — asking whether the Chiefs could borrow helmets for their game against the Patriots.
