“It was a great game, especially for everyone is Missouri, because that is everyone’s team now that the Rams are gone,” senior Jackson Fennner said. 

In the course of 12 offensive plays, they went from trailing 20-10 to leading 24-20 with a win expectancy of 77.7%. 

“The Chiefs are my favorite team, so of course I’m happy they won. If they hadn’t won, I might have cried honestly,” Fenner said.
