KANSAS CITY, Mo. — There was an optical illusion in the Chiefs-Raiders game Monday night, or maybe I’m just handing myself an excuse.
But midway through the first quarter, Raiders receiver Davante Adams had a 58-yard catch and run for a touchdown, and at some point during the celebration, the football wound up in the seats at Arrowhead Stadium.
I was sitting next to Jesse Newell, one of our Chiefs beat writers, in the press box atop the upper deck at Arrowhead, and he commented that Adams chucked the ball into the stands. From our bird’s-eye view, I thought Adams had actually spiked the ball hard enough that it skipped off the ground first.
