KANSAS CITY, Mo. — After the first quarter of the fifth consecutive AFC Championship Game at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, the Chiefs are already down two players.
Cornerback L'Jarius Sneed and wide receiver Kadarius Toney suffered injuries.
Sneed has officially been listed out for the rest of the game with a concussion and is in the NFL's concussion protocol.

Toney has spent most of the season battling a hamstring injury that caused him to miss six games.
But for Mecole Harmdman Jr., who was no stranger to missing games after an injury caused him to sit out since Week 9, the first quarter was a chance to make his contributions known once more.
Welcome back, Mecole Hardman Jr. Here's a jet sweep and a pop from a cornerback. #ChiefsKingdom #Chiefs41
