On the 'Chiefs Wire Podcast Interview Series', we showcase new players, celebrities, and prominent NFL players with unique takes and stories about the Kansas City Chiefs.
Watch as Senior Writer Ed Easton Jr. speaks with the President of the NFL Alumni Kansas City Chapter and Kansas City Chiefs legend J.C. Pearson. He recalled a memorable game in his playing career at Arrowhead Stadium against the Buffalo Bills.
"That 1991 Monday Night Football game against Buffalo (Bills). Buffalo was in its heyday, going to four straight Super Bowls. They were running the AFC at that time, and they came in here. That stadium was the beginning of Arrowhead Stadium, and the mystique that it now has, and man, the electricity in that stadium," said Pearson, "You hear guys talk about the atmosphere being electric; that was the first time that I really felt that. There was something from the crowd as soon as we came out for warm-ups; you could feel it. There was a buzz in the air, and we put it on them that night, on Monday night, in front of the whole nation. That led to where it is now, or the beginning of it."
Pearson also discussed his role as an NFL Alumni ambassador for the 'GEAR UP Against Cancer'campaign's fight against lung cancer, in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Division of Cancer Prevention and Control.
