Chiefs Arrive Late To MetLife After Stopping To Save Elderly Giants Fan With Heart Attack

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The Kansas City Chiefs’ journey from their team hotel to MetLife Stadium turned into an extraordinary moment of humanity Sunday afternoon.

The team departed from the Hilton Meadowlands Hotel, just minutes from the stadium, when their convoy came to an abrupt stop. Along the roadside near a crowded intersection, a small group of New York Giants fans had been waving flags and chanting as the buses rolled by. Suddenly, one elderly fan collapsed to the ground, clutching his chest.

The Chiefs’ bus driver reacted immediately, slowing the vehicle as cries for help filled the air. Within moments, members of the Chiefs’ medical staff rushed out. Carrying emergency kits, they began CPR on the man, believed to be in his late 70s and a lifelong Giants supporter.

Witnesses described the scene as powerful and emotional: Chiefs medical staff working tirelessly to save a fan dressed head-to-toe in Giants blue and white — while fellow New York supporters looked on in stunned silence.

Minutes later, paramedics arrived. The Chiefs staff not only handed the patient over but insisted on accompanying him to the hospital to ensure he remained stable.

The intervention delayed the Chiefs’ convoy, making them one of the last teams to arrive at MetLife Stadium for pregame warmups. Yet, inside the locker room, the moment wasn’t viewed as a disruption but as a powerful reminder of perspective.

“It didn’t matter that he was a Giants fan,” said Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones. “What mattered was saving a life. Football can wait — humanity comes first.”

Chiefs captain Patrick Mahomes added a heartfelt message:

“Whether you wear red and gold or blue and white — every fan shares the same heartbeat of this game. We respect that. We honor that.”

According to hospital sources, the elderly fan is now in stable condition. What began as an interconference showdown in East Rutherford transformed into something deeper: a story of compassion, respect, and the humanity that binds players and fans together — no matter the uniform.

Ravens Update Quarterback Depth Amid Controversies - Re-signed Pro Bowl Star to QB2
Baltimore, MD – October 7, 2025 Following Cooper Rush's disappointing performance in the humiliating 10-44 loss to the Houston Texans on Saturday (October 6), the Baltimore Ravens are facing intense debates about their quarterback room depth. With Lamar Jackson still nursing a hamstring injury and potentially missing the upcoming game against the Los Angeles Rams (scheduled for Week 6), the big question arises: Should Tyler Huntley – the former Ravens Pro Bowl star – get the starting nod over Rush? Huntley, 27 years old, was re-signed by the Ravens to the practice squad at the end of August 2025 and quickly elevated to QB2 for Week 5. He served as the Ravens' backup QB from 2020-2024, leading the team to the playoffs in 2022 and earning a Pro Bowl replacement spot thanks to his impressive performances filling in for Jackson. With experience in 9 starts (3-6 record), Huntley brings familiarity to the Ravens' offensive system, particularly his mobility and game-reading skills – something Rush seemed to lack in the Texans loss, where he completed only 18/34 passes with 1 TD and 2 INTs, resulting in the offense scoring just 10 points. The controversy exploded on social media, with the hashtag #RavensFlock divided. Many fans support Huntley: "Rush has proven he's not the solution. Huntley knows the system, knows how to win games – put him in!" (from account @RavensFanatic on X). Meanwhile, others defend Rush, arguing he needs time to adapt after transferring from the Dallas Cowboys: "Rush just started his first game for us. Don't rush to conclusions – he has playoff experience!" However, Rush's performance (only 189 passing yards, no big plays) has raised concerns about the depth chart, especially with Jackson possibly out for another 1-2 weeks. Head coach John Harbaugh hasn't commented directly, but in the post-Texans press conference, he hinted at a reevaluation: "We have multiple quality options at QB. Tyler is ready, and we'll choose the one best suited to win." ESPN insiders report that Huntley has been practicing fully and performing well, potentially being promoted to official QB2 if Jackson misses the Rams game – a crucial matchup for the Ravens (currently 1-4) to salvage their season. Signing Huntley – a Pro Bowl star – is seen as a smart move amid the controversies, boosting the Ravens' depth and flexibility. If Huntley gets "the nod" to start, it could be his chance to prove his value, just like his previous fill-ins for Jackson. Ravens fans are awaiting the decision – will "Snoop" (Huntley's nickname) return to save the team? Follow updates from baltimoreravens.com for more details. #RavensFlock #QBControversy
