On Sunday, the Denver Broncos handed the Kansas City Chiefs a 38-0 defeat in the NFL’s Week 18. Here’s some of what Tom Ruprecht overheard on Empower Field at Mile High.
“This could be a great day for Carson Wentz. He gets a start — and Doug Pederson is about to get fired.”
“Pretty selfless of Kareem Hunt to agree to sit when he’s only 1,378 yards away from breaking Eric Dickerson’s rushing record.”
“How did we get a 12th-man penalty? We don’t have 12 players dressed for the game.”
“I don’t wanna say Andy Reids’s emptying the bench, but Dante Hall is back there for the punt return.”
“Yikes! This must be what it feels like to be a Cleveland Browns fan.”
“Don’t think of it as the Chiefs losing. Think of it as the Cincinnati Bengals’ playoff hopes dying.”
“This is embarrassing. We need to fire Andy Reid and grab Rex Ryan before we lose him to the Jets!”
“On the bright side, the over/under was 40.5 — so the Chiefs’ offense helped hit that Under!”
“Travis Kelce split at halftime to hit the red carpet at the Golden Globes.”
“At least we held Bo Nix to an anemic 89.7% completion rate.”
“Well, I guess the Chiefs were bound to lose a close game at some point.”
