Chiefs hero in win over Denver named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - The two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs (9-0) won their 15th consecutive game on Sunday since last Christmas. And it was thanks to a special teams play as the clock read 0:00.
Linebacker Leo Chenal led a the Chiefs' stunning 16-14 win.
On Wednesday, Chenal was recognized for his heroics, being named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week.
It was his first-career Player of the Week award, and Chenal became the first Chiefs defensive player to win Special Teams Player of the Week since linebacker D.J. Alexander in Week 17 of the 2015 season, the NFL announced.
“It’s complete shock,” Chenal said after the game. ”Not much I can say about it. Glory to Jesus Christ and everything because I was really praying for something to happen."
