9:11 p.m. | Most fans had cleared out of Kelly's with time still on the clock.
8:58 p.m. | Just a couple of minutes before the end of the game, Theron Alcorn is not so optimistic anymore. He bet $1,000 on the Chiefs.

He says the Eagles are going to win by 63 points.
5:17 p.m. | Meet the Garcia family. They love New Orleans and decided to bring the city's energy to Kansas City.
