FOXBORO, MASS. (WHDH) - Massachusetts State Police didn’t let their Patriots fandom get in the way of making sure Sunday’s game went on as scheduled.
Troopers escorted a truck containing equipment for the Kansas City Chiefs to Foxboro after the truck was running late to Foxborough for Sunday’s game at 4:25.
“As much as we wouldn’t mind a forfeit for Pats Nation, we did escort the delayed Chiefs equipment from Logan to Foxboro,” state police tweeted. “Game time can go as scheduled. #GoPats.”
The tweet came less than an hour after ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the issue with the Chiefs equipment.
A few hours later, the Kansas City Police replied to the State Police, thanking them for the help.
“Thanks for the assist; we would for sure do the same thing for the Patriots … or would we …” the police tweeted.
A Chiefs’ spokesman just said all the team’s equipment has arrived in Foxboro. Roughly 35 players had been missing helmets and or shoulder pads. No more.
