The Chiefs came within a hair of a possible disaster just days before the Super Bowl. After a barber was removed from the facility for testing positive for COVID-19 on Sunday—while in the middle of cutting center Daniel Kilgore's hair—it was reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter that he was scheduled to cut over 20 more Chiefs players' hair that same day. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes was among the players who had an appointment.
The barber tested negative five days in a row before Sunday but took an additional rapid test before entering the Chiefs' facility that eventually came back positive.
