On Thursday night, the Kansas City Chiefs won the opening game of the 2024 NFL season, handing a 27-20 defeat to the Baltimore Ravens. Here’s some of what Tom Ruprecht overheard on GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
- “That must be the Stealth plane Patrick Mahomes got after the last contract negotiation.”
- “Wow! Xavier Worthy runs faster than Rashee Rice drives!”
- “The NFL is going to use Taylor Swift’s boots to measure first downs.”
- “After Ronnie Stanley’s third illegal formation penalty, Brett Veach offered him an $80 million contract.”
- “Steve Spagnuolo has 4 Super Bowl rings. The man’s earned the right to call a damn time out!”
- “Gentlemen, after hundreds of hours of meetings and discussions, we’ve succeeded: kickoffs are just as pointless as ever!”
- “Derrick Henry gives the Ravens a whole new weapon to ignore in the second half.”
- “The game’s biggest play was when Isaiah Likely switched from a 13 to a 13 1/2.”
- “The Ravens may have seemed Likely — but in the end, the Chiefs were more Worthy.”
