KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City is preparing for the Chiefs' #RunItBack tour as they kick off their playoff run with the AFC Divisional game against the Cleveland Browns Sunday.
The Missouri Department of Transportation said its lighting crews switched out the plexiglass on the Bond Bridge lights to turn the skyline staple red.

Local companies are also getting in on the buzz.
Shatto Milk Company is releasing a special edition “Coach Cow” red velvet milk in honor of Chiefs coach Andy Reid.
It will be available Thursday in all stores that carry Shatto milk.
Shatto produced 18,000 of the Big Red bottles, which will be on shelves through Friday.
“We are fortunate in Kansas City to have a wonderful football team made up of amazing talent. In addition, we have a coach that is an amazing leader and so well thought of in the community as well as within his profession,” Barbara Shatto said.
Chiefs fans, many of whom are unable to grow a mustache as iconic as Reid’s, are encouraged to opt instead for a red milk mustache to celebrate the team’s playoff run.
