Coffee with the Chiefs – Reactions to the victory

Good morning, Addicts! Today is fantastic, because the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Arizona Cardinals 34-19 on Saturday night. Kansas City got off to a bit of a slow start before Chase Daniel came in and let us know he’s secretly Joe Montana. Let’s go around the horn and get plenty of reaction from the internet.

"This was Saturday, midway through the second quarter of the Chiefs’ 34-19 preseason win over the Arizona Cardinals, and while the crowd at University of Phoenix Stadium may have been sparser than normal, and the television ratings were not the same — all indications of the general lack of fan interest toward NFL preseason games once the starters leave— try telling that to Daniel and the rest of the Chiefs’ backups."
