News about George Karlaftis

While trying to taunt Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman George Karlaftis, some fans on social media chastised him for not recovering a fumble. Kittle's laissez-faire early-game attitude may have cost his team a lot of money, as 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey fumbled the pigskin directly behind where Kittle was standing. To recover the Super Bowl fumble, Karlaftis defeated three 49ers to the ball. Right before everyone dove for the loose ball, Kittle can be heard saying 'Hey George!' When blocking him, Karlaftis is blocked.

Henderson, Nevada, is home to many residents, according to the city's slogan, 'A Place To Call Home.' That's just what the San Francisco 49ers and the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs will be calling it until Sunday's Super Bowl, which will be played 32 miles west in a town with a decidedly different tag: "What Happens In Vegas Stays In Vegas." But even if the overused, misleading statement was true, it loses all significance this week as hundreds of thousands of thousands of iPhone-phone-carrying Chiefs and Niners fans descend on Sin City with the intention of becoming their favorite players. Quite simply, what happens in Sin City this week could determine the rest of these players and coaches' professional lives.

On Sunday, Kansas City defensive end Charles Omenihu suffered a torn ACL and will miss Super Bowl LVIII. Omenihu made a vital strip-sack of Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson after a high-scoring start to the AFC Championship Game that saw the Chiefs top 14-7, according to teammate George Karlaftis. Omenihu retired from the game to have his right knee checked for an injury, while his teammates carried on to win by 17-7.

After Kansas City defeated the Baltimore Ravens 17-10 in the AFC Championship, Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones earned an additional $1 million due to an honor in his deal. His base salary for the season had already hit the $19.5 million mark, much less than the $1 million he was fined for missing Week 1 against the Miami Dolphins due to a labor lockout. Thanks to the Chiefs' success in the Super Bowl, Jones will now have the opportunity to cap off another good season by winning his third Lombardi Trophy.
