The Chiefs are without their trusted kicker Harrison Butker, who is out due to an injury. However, his replacement Matthew Wright did not disappoint the fans. The veteran scored two field goals in the last quarter, the winning kick coming in the last seconds of the game.
The Chiefs won 19-17 and have made a strong case for getting a first-round bye in the playoffs. This prompted Clark to end her X (formerly Twitter) break and post a celebratory tweet in honor of the Chiefs.
