Celebrity look-in — Swift + Cruise at Arrowhead
NFL posts Swift + Cruise (~3.07M imp / 16.2k likes). Platform spectacle — not a game fact.
Chyron of the Night: three million impressions selling the booth before the football finished the sentence. Platform spectacle. Not a play call.
- early · answerFact
Nix→Engram answer TD — temporary tie
Broncos answer TD Nix→Engram.

Fields lined up; Walker shovel TD
Fields lined up next to Mahomes on Walker shovel TD.
Conversion Referendum: Fields in a three-point next to Mahomes, shovel to Walker. That’s not chaos — that’s a formation with a clipboard.

3Q: Mahomes short left to Kelce, 59 yards to the Denver 4.
- post-WalkerFact
Walker debut splash — “real RB” frame
After the 60-yard run, the “real RB” frame arrived. Postcard Pete says one night is a postcard, not a passport.
- box · scoreFact
Waddle Broncos debut — 1 catch, 2 yards
Waddle: 1 catch, 2 yards (ESPN).
One catch, two yards in the debut. That’s one night, not a verdict, same as Walker’s. Pete is consistent even when it’s boring.
- booth · metaFact
Booth bits — Peyton reaction / audio out
Peyton “No!” on the first-quarter Nix interception; then the broadcast audio dropped out.
Chyron of the Night: Peyton yelling no, then the audio drops. The platform sold the fail twice.
