The Kansas City Chiefs fell to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday night and it was a tough loss. During the game, Patrick Mahomes threw a miserable pick-six to the Jaguars that gave them a 21-14 lead late in the third quarter.

Former Saturday Night Live star and diehard Chiefs fan Heidi Gardner was on with the Manning brothers for the ManningCast when the now infamous pick-six happened. Her reaction was exactly how Chiefs fans found themselves feeling in the moment.

Gardner had been pounding the drum for JuJu Smith-Schuster to get the touchdown grab when the Chiefs were in the red zone. Unfortunately for her and all of Chiefs Kingdom, that didn't happen. When Mahomes first threw the ball, Gardner thought Smith-Schuster might have gotten the grab but then quickly realized what had happened and what was about to happen.

"No! No! No! NOOOOO, NOT THAT! No! Oh and he's still going, no! Noooo! Noooo! No you guys noooo! No! No!"

Gardner was really excited to see the Chiefs try to build on their lead when the offense got into the red zone and when asked to predict what was going to happen, she went with a touchdown pass to Smith-Schuster. As we all know, that didn't happen. A touchdown did happen on the play but not the kind that Chiefs fans were excited about.

As Devin Lloyd kept running and it was clear no one was going to stop him from plowing into the end zone, Gardner and the Manning brothers could only watch as he scored the touchdown. Gardner was clearly upset and wasn't putting on any kind of act. She's a massive Chiefs fan and earlier in the broadcast had shared a journal entry she had written after K.C. lost to Buffalo in the 1993 AFC Championship Game when Joe Montana was the quarterback.

She was also a big reason why Travis Kelce got the invite to host an episode of SNL after the Chiefs won Super Bowl LVII. Gardner is always donning Chiefs red and gold and it's fun having a super fan like her out in the wild.

What made this moment so great (for non-Chiefs fans, that is) is simply how much Gardner cared in that moment. Sometimes celebrities and athletes will be on the ManningCast and will just stare blankly when a big play like that happens but not Gardner. She was clearly as distraught as we all were.

Sadly, Gardner didn't get to see K.C. score during her time on the broadcast. Guess the Mannings need to invite her on again so she can actually see it through next time.
