We just saw the best drive the Broncos can possibly put together and it resulted in a FG. If KC goes up by 14, Denver’s running game goes bye-bye and the game’s over.
And I’m guessing the punter actually spent a fair amount of time practicing those kicks, for just such an emergency. Only complicating factor is that the punter is probably also the holder…but there must be a backup holder too…
Reminds me of last year (or was it the year before?) when the Steelers got off to a 10-0 start, beating nobodies and winning a bunch of close games. I think they finished 11-5 and made a quick playoff exit.
