Gracie Hunt, daughter of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, is no stranger to the spotlight. Regularly seen at Chiefs games, Hunt has become a fan favorite, with many following her appearances and social media activity closely. This past Sunday was no different, as she once again captured attention, both for her presence and her post-game sentiments.
The Chiefs played the Atlanta Falcons in a tough matchup at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Georgia. Despite being expected to dominate, the Chiefs found themselves in a tight contest. Atlanta jumped out to an early lead, holding a 7-0 advantage at the end of the first quarter and a slim 14-13 lead at halftime. However, the Chiefs managed to turn things around in the second half, outscoring the Falcons 9-3 to secure a 22-17 victory.
Patrick Mahomes, while not posting his usual gaudy stats, threw for 217 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. The breakout star of the game was Rashee Rice, who hauled in 12 catches for 110 yards and a touchdown. A crucial third-quarter touchdown by JuJu Smith-Schuster helped extend the Chiefs’ lead, while the defense held firm to close out the win.
Following the hard-fought victory, Hunt shared her thoughts on Instagram. Accompanying a celebratory photo of Mahomes and Smith-Schuster, she posted a simple, yet heartfelt two-word message: “So grateful,” followed by a praying hands emoji. The post resonated with fans, reflecting Hunt’s appreciation for the team’s effort despite the less-than-perfect performance.
As the Chiefs move forward with a 3-0 record, their next challenge will be against the Los Angeles Chargers. However, with Chargers’ quarterback Justin Herbert potentially sidelined, the Chiefs may have an opportunity to keep their winning streak alive.
