ESPN’s Adam Schefter is considered to be one of the best NFL insiders in the media landscape. So, when he posts anything on social media, fans will take it as fact. Which is what made it all the more hilarious when he posted on X, formerly Twitter, that both the Kansas Chiefs and the Washington Commanders had both arrived in Las Vegas ahead of Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday.
For those unaware, the Chiefs will be playing the San Francisco 49ers. The Commanders, meanwhile, are in the midst of a full rebuild and nowhere near the big game. NFL fans were quick to jump on Schefter after the flub and were merciless about it despite the fact that he edited his post just a minute later.

To be fair to Schefter, he had been doing a fair amount of reporting on Washington ahead of this post, explaining the mixup. But NFL fans are not always the most understanding. Here are some of the best reactions to the insider’s comical typo:
the commanders buy tickets or something? https://t.co/7UuTdVF4DX pic.twitter.com/HupH3FwHr3
