Every week, the Chiefs are finding new ways to give their fans mini heart attacks while watching them play. Although they have now clinched the AFC West title for 9th straight season, this year hasn’t been smooth sailing for Patrick Mahomes’ team. After winning several games with seconds remaining on the clock, the Chiefs went a little overboard this time. All thanks to their third-stringer kicker, Matthew Wright, whose last-second field goal almost made everyone fall on their knees in Kansas City.

Was it divine intervention that helped the Chiefs secure a 19-17 victory on Sunday Night? Well, it could be, considering the way Wright’s 31-yard field goal went in after hitting the left upright post. This even led to Andy Reid calling Wright and jokingly urging him to hit the football a little right next time. He then went on to call him and ask for a breakdown of what went through his mind. But before he started, Andy Reid said, “First, we are gonna say a prayer.”

And that gesture might have caught the eye of the Chiefs’ owner’s wife, Tavia Hunt, who echoed Reid’s religious actions. She took to her Instagram stories and reposted the reel where Reid gave that speech in the Chiefs locker room. Tavia also captioned the story with Reid’s quote, “First, we’re gonna say a prayer,” then wrote, “Glory always to God.” Well, this isn’t the first time Clark Hunt’s wife showed her support for the Chiefs’ religious beliefs.

After the Raiders game, Tavia shared a post where Patrick Mahomes was seen kneeling down and praying before the game. And guess what? In that game, too, the Chiefs won by a narrow margin of 19-17. So it seems like their prayers are getting heard as they continue winning by the slimmest of margins. With little to no room for error, the Chiefs’ dramatic way of finishing games continues even this week. But this time, it was an unlikely hero in Matthew Wright who stepped up big time.

Matthew Wright, the Chiefs Kingdom savior for this week

If it had not been for Patrick Mahomes’ game-winning drive before setting up Wright’s 31-yard field, the Chiefs wouldn’t have the win on Sunday Night. His wobbly kick that went in off the left upright was so nerve-racking that Andy Reid couldn’t bear to witness it. But later on, the Chiefs HC, did say he had trust, “I trusted Matthew, so I was good with where we were. Percentages are pretty high. I knew we won a game in that same situation on the opposite end. So I get it. But he’s a solid gamer, so I wasn’t too worried about it.” That would probably explain why he didn’t even look when the kick went up.

But the moment the crowd in GEHA Field erupted, the Chiefs sidelines went into rapturous celebrations. Seeing the Chiefs win in such astonishing fashion led to some fans tweeting, “Chiefs are the luckiest team in NFL history.” There was another who agreed with those thoughts and added, “I’ve never seen anything like this. The Chiefs are truly the luckiest sports team to ever exist.” Well, those comments just went on coming as another already declared them impossible to beat, “Whatever the odds are that the Chiefs will win the Super Bowl by having their opponent’s game-winning FG struck by a bolt of lighting, they aren’t high enough.”

The Chiefs may have that lady luck on their side. Or it could be just their prayers every week that get answered in the form of wins!
