There were several weird moments during the Kansas City Chiefs-Detroit Lions’ NFL Kickoff Game on Thursday night, but Tommy Townsend’s brain fart might take the cake as the most bizarre of them all.
During the game, fans noticed that Townsend was trying to put a helmet on following a Harrison Butker field goal attempt…even though the former already had one on his head. Have a look at the hilarious moment below:
There was also NBC’s random decision to show Aidan Hutchinson’s parents mic’d up on several occasions throughout the contest, not to mention Chiefs’ offensive tackle Jawaan Taylor getting away with obvious false starts all game long.
When all was said and done, it was the Lions who escaped with a tight 21-20 victory, thanks to a late David Montgomery rushing touchdown and a clutch turnover on downs by the defense at the two-minute warning.
Thursday night marked Patrick Mahomes’ first Week 1 loss, as well as the Chiefs’ first season opening defeat since 2104.
