DENVER – Kicker Cairo Santos kissing the game-winning field off the left upright for the walkoff winner for the Kansas City Chiefs in 30-27 thriller over the Denver Broncos put a bow on top of a package delivered by special teams. “It’s kind of like being in a movie,” Santos said in try to describe the madness following his game-winning …
