The COVID-19 crisis has changed sports as we know it over the last year, leading to empty stadiums, constant testing and altered living situations for players and coaches alike. For Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, 2020 served as perhaps the most challenging season of his career.
Bieniemy detailed his difficult 2020 in a story by Sports Illustrated's Jenny Vrentas on Thursday. He said he lived in a hotel from July through Super Bowl LV, doing so in order to isolate himself from his wife, Mia, and their two sons. Bieniemy’s older son, Eric III, has cerebral palsy and respiratory issues, making him a high-risk candidate for contracting COVID-19.
