Chiefs fans outside KC were furious when CBS Sports cut away from Sunday’s game
When a team has a 29-point lead in the fourth quarter, is that a good time for a network to switch to another game?
CBS Sports thought so, as viewers outside of the Kansas City area were dismayed to learn the network was cutting to the Raiders-Chargers game in Los Angeles. With the Chiefs’ leading 44-15 at the time, that decision makes sense because the game between the AFC West teams was close.
However, that didn’t sit well with Chiefs fans in other parts of the nation who wanted to watch Kansas City close out its 44-21 victory in Glendale, Arizona.
Important note: Viewers in Kansas City saw the entire game.
But here is what some Chiefs fans not in Kansas City were saying about the CBS decision.
A fan in Jefferson, Wisconsin wrote to The Star: “We were very sick about this. You wait all week for a game and it’s just cut off.”
