Chiefs owner might be more mad than fans after Week 11 loss to Bills

According to a report, Kansas City #Chiefs owner Clark Hunt was less-than-thrilled with his team’s loss to the Buffalo #Bills in Week 11.

The Kansas City Chiefs took their first loss of the 2024 regular season in Week 11 when the Buffalo Bills defeated the defending Super Bowl champions 30-21 at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York.

The Chiefs, who have developed one of the NFL’s most bitter rivalries with Buffalo in recent years, seemed to be on the verge of a perfect season before Sunday’s matchup against the Bills.

Despite its loss, Kansas City still holds the best record in the AFC.

But, according to a post by NFL reporter Darren Smith after the game, Chiefs owner and CEO Clark Hunt was reportedly livid after the Chiefs were defeated by Buffalo.

Though it remains unclear exactly what aspect of Kansas City’s performance miffed Hunt, Smith doubled down on his report when a fan questioned his reporting in the comments under his original tweet.

Stay tuned to see if this situation develops into a broader issue, or if Hunt’s rage is tamed before the Chiefs’ Week 12 matchup against the Carolina Panthers.
