The Kansas City Chiefs' locker room had its hot water cut off from its showers following their win over the Bills on Sunday night in Buffalo, according to offensive lineman Donovan Smith.
The 30-year-old athlete said this on his X account.
Damn, I caught an L and they turned off our hot water… All good we got this dub today #ChiefsKingdom

The Chiefs defeated and eliminated the Bills with a 27-24 win at Highmark Stadium.
However, stadium owner Erie County denied turning off the hot water in the visitors' locker room.
“This is wrong,” said Peter Anderson, a district spokesman whose comments were reported by TMZ.
“There is no way to turn off the hot water on one side or the other. There are two huge hot water tanks that supply the two changing rooms.
Anderson said if the Chiefs struggled, it would likely be due to high demand for a cold game.
“It’s no different than back home,” he added. If water is constantly flowing, it will be difficult to keep up with demand. The recent renovations have improved everything related to hot water in the locker rooms.”
