Kansas City Chiefs Stranded in Denver Following Blizzard in Kansas City

The team remains in Denver after a blowout loss to the Broncos, with severe weather disrupting their return travel plans.

The Kansas City Chiefs were unable to return home after their Week 18 game due to a winter storm that closed Kansas City International Airport.
The team decided to stay in Denver overnight, with plans to return to Kansas City on Monday morning, weather permitting.
Kansas City experienced rapid ice accumulation and over 12 inches of snow, creating hazardous travel conditions and grounding flights.
The Chiefs rested key starters in their 38-0 loss to the Denver Broncos, who secured their first playoff appearance in eight years.
Despite the travel delay and loss, the Chiefs retain the AFC's top playoff seed and will begin postseason preparations with a bye week.
