Kansas City Chiefs fans were left stunned Tuesday evening after shocking reports began circulating online claiming that the highly anticipated Chiefs vs. Los Angeles Rams preseason opener at Arrowhead Stadium had been urgently cancelled following the emergence of tragic news involving an individual connected to the NFL community.

According to the unconfirmed reports spreading rapidly across social media, league officials were said to be in emergency discussions with both organizations just days before the scheduled Saturday kickoff.
