Kansas City Chiefs: Good, Bad, Ugly vs Ravens in week 14 of 2018
UGLY: SPECIAL TEAMS
We kind of touched on this already with Harrison Butker, but I’m going to give the rest of special teams its own entry. Usually at the top of its game, special teams nearly cost KC a W this week.
I already covered the two missed field goals by Butker and one of those was a result of a bad snap and hold. Everyone’s accountable on that one even if Butker was ultimately the one who missed the kick.
Late in the game, the Ravens were able to return the ball to within the red zone. This is something we RARELY see happen against the Chiefs special teams. They’ve been as good as any unit in the league under Dave Toub, but that was a big mistake, as Baltimore would go on to score not long after.
It was an ugly game for Chiefs special teams, but they’re usually the highlight of the team. That made it hard to put them in the ugly category this week.
