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.
BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCKED

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.
