Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs Pay Tribute to Len Dawson During Game (Video)

The day after legendary Chiefs quarterback Len Dawson died at the age of 87, the Chiefs honored the late legend at their preseason game vs. the Packers in Kansas City.

Dawson is best known for leading the Chiefs to the Super Bowl IV title in 1970. Three years earlier, he took the team to Super Bowl I, ultimately losing to the Packers.

Current Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes came out onto the field in the first quarter and recreated Dawson’s infamous “choir huddle” on the field with the team.

As the Chiefs took the delay of game to pay tribute to Dawson, Mahomes then ran off the field and ramped the crowd up at Arrowhead Stadium to cheer for the late Hall of Famer.
