KANSAS CITY, Mo. — With a little nod, a little flick of the eyebrows, Alex Forsyth acknowledged fate.
He is a believer, he affirmed in a dingy locker room in Kansas City, the place that could’ve broken him. A believer in what, he didn’t say. He simply believes things happen for a reason. And that meant Thursday night on Christmas must’ve happened for a reason, 411 days since the special-teams rep that made him infamous.
“It was just a special, special day,” Forsyth said. “Special night.”
The cards fell. On Monday, three days before a return to Arrowhead Stadium, reserve offensive lineman Forsyth found out he’d be starting at center for the Broncos.
