The Kansas City Chiefs may have had some difficulty warming back up after their frigid divisional round victory over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night. 

After the Chiefs knocked the Bills out of the playoffs for the third time in four years, offensive tackle Donovan Smith took to social media with a complaint about the state of the visitors’ locker room.

The 30-year-old claimed that Buffalo had turned off the hot water in Kansas City’s locker room after the game, forcing Chiefs players to take cold showers after having competed in below-freezing conditions throughout the game. 

“Damn caught a L and they shut off our hot water... smh its all good we got that Dub today,” wrote Smith on X.

Although Chiefs players would likely have enjoyed the opportunity to shower down and heat up after the hard-fought 27–24 win, they seemed plenty satisfied to leave Highmark Stadium with a victory and a berth to the conference championship.

The alleged lack of hot water didn’t dampen the celebrations, however, as the team excitedly soaked in the victory after reaching the AFC championship for the sixth straight season.
