If you need an example of why special teams matters, look no further than the Kansas City Chiefs’ embarrassing Week 3 loss to the Indianapolis Colts.
The Chiefs’ special teams unit had about as bad of a day as one could have. A missed field goal, a missed extra point, a muffed punt, a nonsensical fake FG that failed miserably, and a kick returner who simply fell over mid-return all played a part in the story that was the 20-17 loss to a much inferior opponent on paper.
