Chiefs running back Charles dedicates Broncos game to 2 teenagers who drowned in Missouri pond
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles is dedicating Sunday night's game against Denver to two teenagers who drowned in a Missouri farm pond over the weekend.
Charles met one of the boys, Andre Lance, a few years ago at training camp and remembered taking a photo with him. The 17-year-old Lance and his high school classmate, Tyler Brandt, were found in the ice-covered farm pond Sunday night near Savannah in northwest Missouri.
Charles said that he learned of the drowning through social media.
