The Chiefs honored the late QB Len Dawson on the very first play of their preseason game against the Packers.
On Thursday, it was revealed that the Chiefs’ longtime QB had passed away.

During the team’s preseason game, Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who dressed but did not play tonight, took the field for Kansas City’s first possession and got the offense into a “choir huddle,” the same way Dawson did during his playing day

Wow. Cool moment at Arrowhead. Patrick Mahomes leads a choir huddle in honor of Len Dawson, takes a delay of game, and checks out. He's done for the night.

The Chiefs paid tribute to the late Len Dawson by lining up in the Choir Huddle on their first offensive play tonight ❤️
