Chiefs face more travel chaos after Broncos clash as fresh blizzard warning sweeps through Kansas City
Share:
Win or lose, it could be a long journey home for the Kansas City Chiefs Sunday as the reigning Super Bowl champions could be thrust into more travel chaos with blizzard conditions continuing to sweep through the Midwest. After finally touching down in Denver Saturday night, after an hours-long delay to their flight, Patrick Mahomes and co. are set to suit up against their AFC West rivals in the final week of the NFL regular season Sunday.
However, the No. 1 seeded Chiefs will be thankful for their postseason bye week as getting home may be another challenge. A blizzard warning has been expanded to include the entire Kansas City Metro, with the affected area spreading across both Kansas and Missouri, according to Fox4 News.
40mph winds, six to 12 inches of blowing snow and near whiteout conditions have been forecast for Sunday into the early hours of Monday morning, potentially throwing the Chiefs' return trip into doubt. It comes after the Chiefs left Kansas City four hours behind schedule, with the winter storm leaving the team plane stranded on the runway.
⚠️ The BLIZZARD WARNING has been expanded to now include the *entire Kansas City Metro*. That is Jackson, Johnson, Wyandotte, Douglas, & Northland. 40 MPH winds, 6-12" of blowing snow, and near whiteout conditions Sunday.

The Kansas City Chiefs finally touched down in Denver after a chaotic day of travel Saturday. After being delayed for hours, the Chiefs eventually landed in the Mile High City, with Mahomes and Travis Kelce filmed stepping off the aircraft onto the snowy runway.
