Here’s a fun fact about the Chiefs’ Super Bowl LIV championship team: There was a doctor playing on the offensive line.

Remember Laurent Duvernay-Tardif? He played for the Chiefs from 2015-‘19 and later was with the Jets for two seasons. He retired from football in 2023 and went back to his native Canada to practice medicine.

At one point, there was talk about putting MD on Duvernay-Tardif’s Chiefs jersey, but that never happened.

Although he’s no longer with the Chiefs, Duvernay-Tardif is still a fan of the team. He held a large watch party for Sunday’s game against the Raiders to raise money for his foundation and shared an Instagram video of the fun.

“Today is the Chiefs-Raiders game for the benefit of the Laurent Duvernay-Tardif Foundation. There’s a lot of people in there,” Duvernay-Tardif said in French in the start of the video.

Duvernay-Tardif’s foundation says its goal is to “support young people towards educational success by offering programs that combine sports and the arts.”

The fans weren’t the only ones wearing Chiefs gear at the party. Check out Duvernay-Tardif’s jacket, which is from when the Chiefs beat the Chargers in Mexico City in 2019.

It appears the gathering was in Quebec City, but the actual location wasn’t shared in the post.

If you’re going to host a watch party for a game, it couldn’t get much better than a blowout win over the Raiders. It looks like these fans had a good time.
