The Kansas City Chiefs just blew an 18-point halftime lead to lose to the Tennessee Titans 22-21 in the AFC Wild Card Round.
But it appears Kansas City ABC affiliate KMBC-TV already assumed the game was in the bag after halftime, or maybe they were just unwilling to accept that the Chiefs had such a brutal collapse (again).
During a live postgame report at Arrowhead Stadium, the KMBC graphic read, “Chiefs Kingdom Celebrates Win.”

That’s definitely not what happened. Maybe just go ahead and get ready the “Chiefs blow huge lead to lose playoff game” graphic for next year’s playoffs, KMBC.
