Forget cheese ... say, “Chiefs!”
Some Kansas City Chiefs players paused for fun portraits during Monday evening’s Super Bowl Opening Night event at the Footprint Center in Phoenix.
The images, captured by the Associated Press, showcased the lighthearted nature of the annual Opening Night event.
Fans were in attendance, as were numerous reporters, to watch the teams get introduced and 10 players representing both rosters — the Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles — answer questions from members of the media.
It was all part of the spoils of Super Bowl week, and no one, from Patrick Mahomes and Chris Jones (among others) to KC head coach Andy Reid seemed to mind all that much.
