Here is a closer look at Leo Chenal’s epic blocked field goal for the Chiefs

Just a guess here, but there might have been a few orders for a Leo Chenal jersey made Sunday afternoon following the Chiefs’ wild 16-14 win over the Broncos.

Denver lined up for a game-winning field goal with 1 second left, and it was a chip-shot attempt. But Wil Lutz’s 36-yard try was blocked, thanks to a Herculean effort by Chenal.

Here is the block that helped the Chiefs improve to 9-0 this season.

A fan on X shared a closer look at the block by slowing down the video. Chenal bowled over the Broncos’ Alex Forsyth, knocking Forsyth to the ground. Chenal then dived to get a hand on the ball.

This was an incredible effort by Chenal.

Chiefs fans heaped praise on Chenal for helping save Sunday’s victory over the division rival Broncos. Here is a snippet of the family-friendly comments some of those fans made on X (there were more than a few f-bombs shared in all of the excitement on the social-media channel).
