The Kansas City Chiefs put tragedy aside for 60 minutes on Sunday.
They won a ball game. They won over their emotions. Head coach Romeo Crennel stood in the middle of the locker room Sunday, team members comforting each other as tears ran down their cheeks.
Along one wall stood the empty locker that once belonged to Jovan Belcher, his jersey still hanging from a hook.
