The Kansas City Chiefs saw victory slip out of their hands in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football when wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling dropped a perfectly thrown pass from Patrick Mahomes late in the fourth quarter.
While one play rarely defines an entire game, Valdes-Scantling’s butterfingers absolutely cost Kansas City a chance at victory late in the Super Bowl LVII rematch, and typified the Chiefs’ offensive struggles both in Monday night’s game specifically, and during the team’s entire 2023 season.
Even with a resurgent defense leading the way and the NFL’s reigning MVP under center, it seems that Kansas City just can’t catch a break when its offense has the ball in pivotal moments of crucial games. While Valdes-Scantling is just the latest culprit in this regard, the frustration festering among Chiefs fans on social media was evident in the deluge of posts about his miscue after the game.
Check out some of Twitter’s top reactions to the brutal play:
