KANSAS CITY, Mo. — One day after the Chiefs' James Winchester attended his father's funeral, he walked onto the field inside of Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday to snap for a 22-yard field-goal attempt.
When it went through, Winchester and kicker Cairo Santos stood together for an extra moment.
"I said, 'This one's for daddy,'" Santos said later. "I told James after, 'You're going to go on with your life honoring him with everything that you do.'"
Winchester's father, Michael, was shot to death Tuesday by a disgruntled former Southwest Airlines employee outside an Oklahoma City airport.
