According to sports journalists, not one Redskins player knelt or sat, while many locked arms in unity.

But on the other side, many pointed out that it appeared disrespectful to the anthem for fans of the Chiefs to yell "Chiefs" instead of "brave" at the end of the song, a tradition at their home games.

The Chiefs won the game, 29-20, to remain unbeaten at 4-0.
