Chiefs veteran taught newcomer DeAndre Hopkins a valuable lesson in Week 10 win over Broncos

Nov 10, 2024; Kansas City, Missouri, USA; Kansas City Chiefs fans show support after the win over the Denver Broncos at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

When it comes to the Kansas City Chiefs, you never know what might happen. And most people know that if there is any time remaining on the clock, you can’t count them out yet.

However, the newest member of Chiefs Kingdom wasn’t as aware of this just yet. So, he was taught a valuable lesson on Sunday.

With only one second remaining on the clock, the Denver Broncos lined up to kick a 35-yard game-winning field goal.

And in that moment, Chiefs wide receiver thought that his new team had just suffered their first loss of the season.

“I was talking to D-Hop and he’s like, ‘Man this game’s over,’ Mecole Hardman told reporters after the game. “I’m like, ‘Nah it ain’t.’

“I’ve seen some crazier things.'”

And something crazy did happened, thanks to third-year LB Leo Chenal.

Chanal blocked the Broncos field goal attempt, and it was recovered by Joshua Williams at the Kansas City 28-yard line. That solidified the win for Kansas City, keeping them undefeated through nine games this season.

So, now Hopkins knows to never count the Chiefs out until there is absolutely no time left on the clock.

Here are some other reactions to the miraculous play:

Head Coach Andy Reid 

“My hat goes off to Denver for the job that they did,” Chiefs HC Andy Reid told reporters after the win. “I thought defensively, offensively, they were strong, and it ended up being one of those kind of back-and-forth games. And they arguably take it down for the game-winning kick. And then Leo (Chenal) steps up and does what Leo does every week. Somewhere he makes a play. Defensively, special teams, somewhere he steps up and makes a play, and he did a great job with that.”

QB Patrick Mahomes 

“It just speaks to this entire team. I felt like offensively, we didn’t do well enough. I missed that throw in the fourth quarter to Trav (Travis Kelce) that could have kind of helped us get that lead. Defensively, they stepped it up in that second half and then special teams. We’re a full team. It’s everybody. It was a special moment.”

On Chenal:

“He’s extremely strong, extremely strong. I mean, he’s like, the strength of a D-lineman, but he plays linebacker position. We’ve used him on offense because he the way he’s able to use his speed and athleticism with that power.”

“You live for these moments,” Mahomes said. “I mean, you grow up playing football, you live for the walk-off or whatever it is, and it’s special when you build with these guys for so long, you built this chemistry with them, and guys get to make that play. It’s something that I’m sure Leo (Chenal) will have for the rest of his life, but I’m just glad that we all get to experience it together.”

LB Leo Chenal 

“It’s complete shock. There’s not much I can say about it. You know, glory to Jesus Christ and everything. Because I was really praying for something to happen. That moment is so heavy. You know, there’s one second on the clock and they’re going to kick the field goal. You feel the weight of the moment.”
