Ahead of Sunday’s game, Chiefs’ Juan Thornhill got a cool sendoff from his neighbors
Safety Juan Thornhill didn’t need to be at Arrowhead Stadium for Sunday’s AFC Championship Game to know he has the backing of Chiefs fans.
He just had to step outside his home.
An Instagram video by user Mia Munroe showed Thornhill’s neighbors wishing him well as he was driving off on Saturday. Some people had flags, others were holding signs, and they were all yelling encouraging words.
Twitter user Jackson Triplett shared the video of the cool moment:
In the 38-24 win over the Bills on Sunday, the Chiefs had seven pass defenses. Thornhill had four of them.
This will be Thornhill’s first trip to the Super Bowl, as an injury kept him out of last year’s game.
