Everyone Had Same Reaction To AFC Championship's National Anthem
Yesterday at 06:42 PM
The national anthem has been completed and the AFC Championship Game is about to get underway, live from Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.
The Chiefs had retired United States Navy Petty Officer First Class Generald Wilson perform the national anthem at Arrowhead Stadium before kickoff on Sunday. Wilson is generally thought of as one of the best national anthem performers in the league. He was pumped to get the opportunity this Sunday.
"It's amazing to be asked to come back to Kansas City," said Wilson in a phone interview with the KC Star on Tuesday. "I'm always grateful for the opportunity to sing here โ it's such a special place, and it feels like home every time."
Wilson didn't disappoint, either.
Everyone had the same reaction to Wilson's national anthem performance on Sunday - he was electric.
"Chiefs-Bills game National Anthem was one of the BEST I've ever heard. Navy Veteran Generald Wilson NAILED IT! 'Murica!!" one fan wrote.
"Thank you for your service and thank you for that anthem, Generald Wilson. Wow," one fan added.
"Generald Wilson is the best National Anthem singer I've ever heard. His rendition brought me to tears. Bravo, sir, and thank you for your service," one fan added.

"No one sings the national anthem better than Generald Wilson. Thanks for your service and bravo!! Job well done," one fan added.

It was a truly epic performance by the retired U.S. Veteran on Sunday evening.
Hopefully, the game lives up to the hype, too.
The AFC Championship Game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills is airing on CBS. Jim Nantz, Tony Romo and Tracy Wolfson are on the call.
Hopefully, we're in store for a special one.
