The Kansas City Chiefs backups took an absolute beating in Week 18 and are currently facing a 38-point deficit in an AFC West showdown against the Denver Broncos.
In fact, the Chiefs’ performance on Sunday was so bad that the decision-makers at CBS pulled the game from their national broadcast, saving Kansas City’s fans the indignity of having to watch their team lose to a bitter rival.
The Chiefs, who chose to rest their starters after clinching the AFC’s No. 1 playoff seed with a Week 17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day, have been completely dominated by Denver’s starters.
Few games across the NFL’s entire regular season schedule have been as lopsided as Kansas City’s beatdown at the hands of the Broncos on Sunday afternoon.
Football fans on Twitter had a field day reacting to CBS’s decision to pull the game from its national broadcast and didn’t mince words when describing their thoughts about the Chiefs’ blowout loss.

The Broncos are beating the Chiefs so bad that CBS just announced they were switching to a “more competitive game” and started playing the Chargers/Raiders instead. Never seen that happen before.

Lol…we just got "better gamed" by CBS in the 3rd qtr. Glad they finally caught on that the #Chiefs were very unserious about this. #ChiefsKingdom

CBS changed games because they didn't want to keep showing the Chiefs get curb stomped

You know it's bad when the network switches to "a more competitive game".
CBS just traded coverage of the Chiefs-Broncos game in Cincinnati, to the Raiders-Chargers game.

Chiefs-Broncos so bad, CBS makes switch to “a more competitive game.”
Thankfully not Jets-Dolphins, which is already in Fox, but Chargers-Raiders.

Pat Mahomes isn't playing so CBS decided to take the game off air in its entirety.
Here's to the Raiders and Chargers I reckon

CBS dumped the Chiefs/Broncos game 😭😭😭

CBS removing the Chiefs v Broncos game to turn on the Chargers is probably not a good sign for the Bengals playoff hopes
