It's a pretty well known fact around the NFL that the Chiefs have a pretty good offense. Sure they got off to a slow start at the beginning of the year, but those concerns have since been put to bed as Kansas City locked up the second seed in the AFC. With Patrick Mahomes running the show and talented receivers like Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill by his side, scoring points isn’t usually a problem for this team. That’s why it’s hard to believe that GEHA field ran out of touchdown fireworks. Nonetheless, a memo went up on the big screen at GEHA Field apologizing to fans and saying that the touchdown fireworks would be no more.
No fan would be upset with the lack of fireworks as the Chiefs cruised to a 42-21 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. However the question remains, how could the Chiefs have been so unprepared with fireworks?
Prior to this game, the Chiefs had three games this season where they scored 40+ points. In Week 14, the Chiefs scored six touchdowns as they beat the Raiders 48-9. Those six touchdowns were equivalent to the six that they put up against Pittsburgh during the Wild Card Round. Although that game was in Vegas, it still should indicate that a six touchdown performance is well without the realm of possibilities.
Turns out, this isn’t the first time this has happened either. The Chiefs also ran out of fireworks on January 12th, 2020. It was the AFC Divisional Round against the Houston Texans where Kansas City scored 51 points as they eventually went on to win the Super Bowl.
That’s two strikes! Somebody let the person who orders fireworks know that the Chiefs offense is pretty good…
