Leo Chenal emerged as a hero for the Chiefs by blocking a critical 35-yard field goal attempt from the Broncos, preserving a narrow 16-14 victory. He expressed his shock and gratitude, acknowledging the weight of the moment as he felt the pressure with only seconds left on the clock. Chenal noted that the Chiefs had identified a weakness in Denver's protection earlier in the game, which they exploited successfully. Coach Sean Payton took responsibility for the failure of the protection unit, emphasizing that it was a collective issue rather than an individual player's fault.
