Play smarter on special teams

The Kansas City special teams unit has been very disappointing this season. It has committed way too many penalties and the returners are not making wise decisions on whether or not to return a kick, costing the Chiefs valuable field position.

Last week against the Tennessee Titans, the Chiefs used the same cadence on all field goal attempts throughout the game. This allowed Titans cornerback Joshua Kalu to time his jump perfectly and block the game-tying field goal attempt.

These aren’t the type of mistakes you would expect out of a unit led by a coordinator as experienced as Dave Toub. He owned up to their struggles this past week, so hopefully we’ll see a renewed focus on details.
