I saw Priest score the touchdown against the Raiders on the last play of the game, down by 3, ball at the one, 3 seconds left @ Arrowhead. The Chiefs left the offense in and lined up and the Raiders D got scared and called time out. It was my wife's first game @ Arrowhead and the place was going nuts. I looked at her and tolder her "no way does vermiel leave the offense in. it was gutsy to try, but now that he thinks, he'll kick the field goal. that's what you do when you are at home. you take the tie and hope for the best in OT. It's just what you do." the offense came back out, the 70,000 + all said "oh s**t" very quietly, there were about 3 million goosebumps on the everyone, and the stadium became totally silent. We were in nose-bleed and I think I could hear Trent Green call out the extemely short snap count. Hut-hut BOOM. And there was Priest Holmes flying over the line in his patented head first leap. ARROWHEAD EXPLODED!
Never forget it....
You can only have one favorite team. There are no "second favorites".
