Prayers to her family and friends during this difficult transition in their life.
Aside from the tragic death, the Kansas City Chiefs enter the 2023 season hoping to end it the same way as last year and that is with a Super Bowl ring added to their growing collection.
Head coach Andy Reid is entering his 11th season at the helm. Reid has won at least nine games in each of his 10 years with the Chefs. He is aiming for an eighth straight AFC West division title and a third Super Bowl title with Kansas City in 2023.
Hopefully, the team can go out and do it big for Jessica Tangen.
