‘Unbelievable.’ Chiefs fans stunned, mad after loss to the Titans

What the heck happened?

The Chiefs were lining up for a field goal that would have given them and eight-point lead late in Sunday’s game against the Tennessee Titans in Nashville. The snap came before holder Dustin Colquitt was ready and he threw the ball away.

Colquitt was called for intentional grounding and the Titans took over.

They drove down the field for a touchdown, two-point conversion and a 35-32 lead.

Patrick Mahomes led the Chiefs down the field for a potential game-tying field goal but it was blocked.

The Chiefs lost a game they seemingly had in control.

Fans were not happy and/or stunned:

I hate being a Chiefs fan sometimes. #ChiefsKingdom

#Chiefs may not even win a playoff game this year, let alone the Super Bowl. What a joke of a game.

It’s simply amazing to me how quickly people go from, “Andy’s a coaching God” to “Send him packing!” Which is it, people?!? #ChiefsKingdom

Chiefs players bitched last week about fans selling their tickets. Fans show up BIG in Tennessee today, and watch one of the worst defensive showings of the year. Do your job and fans won’t sell their tickets. #ChiefsKingdom

When @PatrickMahomes plays the rest of the team plays like he is there to carry them to the W, when Moore was in it was more a team effort, I don’t understand why they cannot bring that same energy when Pat plays. Today was disgusting. #ChiefsKingdom

Time to start planning for 2020 because the #Chiefs aren’t going anywhere this year.

As a life long #Chiefs fan that game checks out with many of my past experiences. It’s truly so ridiculous to lose that I can’t help, but laugh. #ChiefsKingdom

I’m literally nauseous right now.
I was hoping those last few minutes were a bad dream, but I don’t think I’ve ever tweeted in a dream. Maybe this is my first dream tweet? #Chiefs https://t.co/286b7vNbnw
