Oh my gosh, it was another great game for the Kansas City Chiefs with another win in week 2. We got to see Mahomes pass that football to many different receivers for touchdowns and the game was just packed with excitement for a final score of Chiefs 42, Steelers 37.

But no matter who their team is, I encourage lots of yelling, hooting and hollering for that team on game day, and the staff is having to get used to us wild fans.
