The Super Bowl LVII is just a few days away, and everyone is enthusiastic. The fans are gearing up to witness the history-making clash between Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts. But KC seems to be in trouble ahead of the big game in Glendale, Arizona. The franchise athletes are falling prey to sickness, and the fans may have figured out the reason.
The Kansas City Chiefs had a hard-fought battle to reach and make their way to Super Bowl LVII. Patrick Mahomes and company gave them all the chance to make another appearance with the determination to sweep it all. They already had issues with the quarterback’s ankle and now have a new situation to face.

To give some context, rapper Drake took to Instagram and shared his placed bets for Super Bowl Sunday. He kept an absurdly high betting amount [$700,000] on the Chiefs to win the game. Several other teams have faced the effects of it in the past, and the Kansas City Chiefs are probably dealing with it now.
Kansas City Chiefs could have more bad luck incoming
It appears that the Chiefs Kingdom did not take Travis Kelce’s advice. They recently added the color red to Philadelphia’s iconic Rocky statue. The New Heights Podcast shared photos of the nine-foot statue dressed in a Kansas City Chiefs jersey with the number 87.
