Fan celebrated Chiefs’ extra points by throwing a roll of toilet paper at the ball
This could be a way for Chiefs fans to let others know things went well for the Kansas City offense in the future:
The toilet paper was flying tonight!
When the Chiefs got on a roll* during Sunday night’s 42-21 playoff victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers, a fan in the Arrowhead Stadium stands behind the goal posts chucked a roll of toilet paper during an extra-point try.
*Pun intended
It happened after the Chiefs took a 14-7 lead in the second quarter:
The majestic flight of the toilet paper roll, which slowly unraveled making it look like a comet’s tail, was easy to see on the TV broadcast. Perhaps the fan was trying to hit the ball on Harrison Butker’s kick.
After the Chiefs next touchdown put them up 21-7, the toilet paper made a return.
Things have really changed since the pandemic started in 2020 and toilet-paper shortages across the United States soon followed.
Did a fan sneak in a pack of toilet paper? Or just take some from a bathroom stall at Arrowhead. We may never know, but Chiefs fans got a kick out of the toilet-paper celebration.
