Derwin James is showcasing his strength.
With the Chiefs driving late in the third quarter, tight end Travis Kelce hauled in a pass from an escaping Patrick Mahomes. Kelce pivoted upfield looking for the end zone but instead was met head-on by James, who lifted the 260-pound Kelce completely off the ground before delivering a picture-perfect WWE-style spinebuster. Kelce lost control of the ball once he hit the ground, prompting a brief scramble to recover before officials ruled the play dead.
James’ feat of strength proved key on that drive, as it eventually helped limit the Chiefs to a game-tying field goal rather than a go-ahead touchdown. In the fourth quarter, Kansas City leads, 24-17.
