Personal Narrative: Kansas City Chiefs
It was a chilly Thursday night at Arrowhead Stadium and the Kansas City Chiefs were playing the San Diego Chargers. The air smelled of hot dogs and sweat. My grandpa and I were sitting nine rows back on the 50 yard line, Chiefs’ side. There were punters, kickers, running backs, and wide receivers of both teams warming up on the field, and with kickoff nearing, my grandpa and I started getting anxious.With me being younger, I had just gotten done contemplating on whether or not to go to the game, or to go trick-or-treating.

The Chargers were up to punt. The Chiefs anticipated the punt and returned the ball to the 25 yard line. This time the Chiefs took the ball 75 yards for a touchdown. The Chargers now had the ball. This drive capitalized in a two yard touchdown run followed by the two point conversion, so the game was now tied 20-20. The Chiefs got the ball and proceeded to have a three-and-out. The Chiefs were in a bad situation. The Chargers had the ball with under 5 minutes left and good field position. The chargers got the ball down to the 15 yard line with under a minute to go. The Chiefs’ loss was inevitable. My grandpa and I began to get out of our seats and head out of the stadium, when suddenly there was a monstrous roar from the crowd. I turned around to see that Philip Rivers had fumbled the snap and the Chiefs had recovered the ball. It was a second life for the Chiefs. The Chiefs were unable to score in the remaining 48 seconds, and were forced to punt and head into overtime.
The Chargers won the coin toss and elected to receive. It was chargers ball on their own 20 yard line. The Chiefs forced a three-and-out. The Chargers punted the ball and the Chiefs started their drive on their own 19 yard line. 13 plays later the Chiefs had made it all the way to the Charger’s 12 yard line. Kansas City didn’t want to try their luck so the Chiefs were set to kick a field goal on third down. Ryan Succop was Kansas City’s
