The Kansas City Chiefs unexpectedly have won nine of 14 games. They’re a perfect 6-0 at home. And if they can finish the job by winning the last two games of the year at Arrowhead Stadium, they’ll win the AFC West.
And so Sunday’s game against the Titans is the toughest ticket in town, right?
Um. No.
Team COO Mark Donovan said in an appearance on WHB radio Wednesday that the Chiefs appear on the list of games that could be blacked out this weekend, via Joel Thorman of ArrowheadPride.com.
We don’t know how many non-premium tickets remain, but the franchise that wears red and white had better be hoping that a guy who wears red and white will be buying up the bulk of the unsold tickets for placement in stockings throughout the greater Kansas City area.
With the Bucs, Raiders, Bengals, Bills, and Cardinals also playing at home on Sunday, there could be more than a few cities in which the locals will be getting a day-after-Christmas lump of coal in the form of a TV blackout.
