Fans who attended the Kansas City Chiefs game versus the Oakland Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday January 3, 2016 were treated to an excellent Sunday afternoon of football. It was a very hard fought game that saw the Chiefs pull off a 23-17 victory over their division rivals. Chiefs fans also showed incredible support for the home team in the Bud Light Good Sport Designated Driver Challenge against their AFC West rivals. More than 1,000 fans pledged to be Good Sports – designated drivers for their group. Responsible fans autographed an inflatable responsibility football and received a free souvenir photo.

• Many, if not most of those lives would have been saved if people did not drive when they were impaired by alcohol or if they used sober, designated drivers or if they simply wore their seat belts.
• Statistics and research clearly show that 21-34 year old males are the demographic most likely to be involved in an automobile crash, drive when impaired by alcohol, and fail to buckle up.
