The Kansas City Chiefs fell on the first game of the 2023-24 NFL season, losing at home against the Detroit Lions in a close 21-20 finish.
The Chiefs wide receiver struggled in this matchup, recording multiple drops, with many coming in key situations that helped decide the game’s outcome. Former Clemson wide receiver Justyn Ross was not one of those receivers to struggle, recording his first regular-season NFL catch for six yards on his only target of the game.
A fan favorite, social media lit up with Ross’ first career regular-season reception. It has been a long road for Ross, but he has arrived and will look for more opportunities with the Chiefs, as much of their receiving core struggled in Week 1.
Here is a look at how Twitter/X reacted to Ross’ first regular season reception.
