Chiefs Literally Ran Out of Touchdown Fireworks in Offensive Massacre vs Texans
By Scott Rogust
The Kansas City Chiefs looked destined to join the Baltimore Ravens in "Upset City" during the first quarter against the Houston Texans on Sunday afternoon.
But then, thanks to Patrick Mahomes and countless blunders from the Bill O'Brien-coached team, the Chiefs overcame a 24-0 deficit to win 51-31.
The tradition at Arrowhead Stadium is to set off fireworks after every Chiefs touchdown scored. Unfortunately for those who make the stadium hum, once the Chiefs recorded their seventh score of the game, the team was out of pyrotechnics, an announcement that more than satisfied the fans in attendance.

That's just insane.
But when you think about it, Arrowhead Stadium should've been prepared to shoot off a plethora of fireworks. Mahomes was facing off against a fellow gunslinger in Deshaun Watson, and every fan was hyped about the amount of touchdowns potentially scored between the two.
Arrowhead Stadium was caught sleeping, but they did pull the ultimate flex in the form of their announcement to fans in attendance.

Arrowhead Stadium's pyrotechnics crew will now have to be prepared for next Sunday, as the Chiefs host the Tennessee Titans in the AFC Championship Game.
