The Week 16 Kansas City Chiefs game against the Seattle Seahawks was the first Chiefs game since superfan ChiefsAholic was arrested in Oklahoma on charges of armed robbery.
The loyalty ChiefsAholic had developed with Chiefs Kingdom is gone now following his arrest, and that was most evident at Arrowhead Stadium on Christmas Eve when fans were seen trolling the wolf-masked superfan.
One fan on Twitter posted a picture of herself in the Arrowhead parking lot with a poster that reads, “Didn’t rob a bank for my ticket! Go Chiefs!” with the caption, “Just in case they don’t allow it into the stadium.”
Just in case they don’t allow it into the stadium 😂😂😂 #ChiefsKingdom
Another fan also posted a photo on Twitter with a group of people holding a sign that reads, “I was not the getaway driver.”
Chiefs Beat Seahawks on Christmas Eve
The win against the Seahawks on December 24 improves Kansas City’s record to 12-3 on the season and keeps their chances of reclaiming the No. 1 seed in the AFC alive.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed 16-of-28 pass attempts for 224 yards and 3 total touchdowns (2 passing, 1 rushing). He was also only sacked one time in the outing against Seattle.
Mahomes’ top pass catcher was tight end Travis Kelce, who caught 6 passes on 8 targets for 113 yards. A majority of his yardage came on back-to-back plays in the fourth quarter in which he picked up 20 and 52 yards respectively.

Rookie running back Isiah Pacheco was the leading rusher for the Chiefs but had a quiet day overall. He carried the ball 14 times for 58 yards. He also had 1 catch on 2 targets for 32 yards.

Kansas City’s defense had one of its best outings of the season against a Seahawks offense with plenty of talent. The unit had 9 total pressures on Seattle quarterback Geno Smith (7 QB hits, 2 sacks) and forced one turnover by way of a Juan Thornhill interception in the endzone in the fourth quarter.
Big Red Reacts to Win Against Seahawks
Speaking to the media after the game, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid reacted to Kansas City’s victory on Christmas Eve.
“Alright, good win. (We) appreciate the fans and them sitting through that cold – that was brisk out there. I was proud of our guys for the job that they did in the game. (Juan) Thornhill’s pick I thought was (a) great way to finish there. Trav (Kelce) and Pat (Mahomes) with that series there, it ended up being a big one for us. We kind of went through a stall there and had too many mistakes, dropped balls, fumble – whatever – too much. But anyways, (we) bounced back and took care of that,” Reid said during a post-game press conference.
“I thought overall our defense had just a great day. And some of those young guys, 21 (Trent McDuffie), 6 (Bryan Cook), 35 (Jaylen Watson), these guys played their tails off. (Nick) Bolton, another big day with 17 tackles. And the D-line, I thought, was extraordinary. I know it was an emotional game for Frank Clark having played there, so making sure he came out of the right tunnel, right? He did a nice job.”
Next up for the Chiefs is a Week 17 home game against the division-rival Denver Broncos on Sunday, January 1.
