Chiefs Win an Emotional Game After Tragedy

It had been one day since the tragedy involving Jovan Belcher of the Chiefs and Sunday had come around for those emotional players. Kansas City head coach Romeo Crennel, who had witnessed (along with Chiefs GM Scott Pioli) Jovan Belcher take his own life after Belcher had murdered his girlfriend, had to fight back the emotions and lead his Chiefs to a win. It might've been inappropriate to some to have played the game so soon after the tragedy involving a teammate but to others like coach Crennel the routine was possibly needed.

"As far as playing the game, I thought that was the best for us to do, because that's what we do," Crennel said. "We're football players and football coaches and that's what we do, we play on Sunday."

The Chiefs managed to win the game 27-21 snapping an 8 game losing streak Sunday over the Panthers at home. The Chiefs managed to fight through the motions for their first home win of the season.

"It's been an incredibly difficult 24 hours for our family and our entire organization," Chiefs owner Clark Hunt said. "We have so many guys on our team and our coaching staff who are really, really hurting."

It has been a trying weekend for the team and those affected. May god be with them during this trying time.
