It wasn’t long until Andy Williams’ sonorous voice over the loudspeakers made the snow globe atmosphere complete.Īnd for the Chiefs, it seemed indeed like the most wonderful time of the year. It really began to pick up again at halftime, obscuring Kauffman Stadium about a quarter mile away, and stadium workers flooded the field to clear what they could during every timeout. There were spin-outs and car accidents throughout the metro area, and there was some concern that players might be delayed in getting to the stadium in time for warmups.Īn hour before kickoff, dozens of workers were clearing off the yard lines, end zones and sidelines as the snow swirled inside the stadium. “When you play a team as good as the Chiefs,” Fangio said, “you can’t do that.”įlurries began to fall overnight, far earlier than meteorologists had predicted, and the intensifying snow caused major problems for people trying to get to the stadium.

The Broncos finished with 251 yards, went 5 of 14 on third down and 1 of 3 on fourth, and were penalized seven times for 72 yards. “I didn’t see him get flustered out there and frustrated so that part was good.” I think it’s a game under these conditions that he can bank and learn from,” said Broncos coach Vic Fangio, whose team was eliminated from playoff contention for the fourth straight season.
