The Chiefs Could Be Forced To Forfeit Today’s Game After Their Equipment Was Accidentally Shipped To New Jersey



The Kansas City Chiefs forgot to bring their equipment with them when they left the plane. Their equipment managers job will definetly be on the line if it does not arrive in time for today’s game at 4:30 ET.

According to Adam Schefter,

An equipment container that contained some of the Chiefs’ shoulder pads, helmets and footballs was not unloaded on Saturday and instead accidentally made its way to Newark, New Jersey where it now is being rushed back to Boston in time for Sunday’s 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff between Kansas City and the New England Patriots, per league sources.
It was roughly 35 players’ bags.

Kansas City is responsible, not the Patriots or the league. The Chiefs did not take the equipment off the plane.
“I never heard that before” said one source.
The Chiefs’ left-behind equipment is expected to arrive between 3 and 3:30 p.m. ET, in time for Sunday’s kickoff. It the Chiefs didn’t have the equipment by the time the game started they would have to forfeit, per a source.

You can be sure the conspiracy theorists will be out in full flock if the gear doesn’t get to Foxborough on time.
