Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes explain how ‘choir’ huddle Len Dawson tribute came about

It has been a difficult week for the Hunt family and the Kansas City Chiefs, given the death of legendary quarterback Len Dawson on Wednesday. The team’s first game following Dawson’s death took place on Thursday night — the final preseason matchup of the year, with the Chiefs hosting the Green Bay Packers.

Before the game began, the club announced players would wear a No. 16 decal on their helmets all season. And on the team’s first offensive possession, quarterback Patrick Mahomes orchestrated his own special way to honor Dawson.
