Well, there were some hard choices this week as to which stinker plays I chose to represent the atrocity that went down in Kansas City. Here they are in all their non-glory.
This first one set the tone for the night to an extent. Close ball game early in the second quarter with a manageable third-and-two on the edge of field goal range. They try to run a sweep that gets BLOWN UP, especially my boy Stork in a “welcome to the NFL” moment. No sustained blocks, no push, and the Pats are punting.
This second one comes on third down of the Pats first possession of the second half. A critical situation where they could’ve gotten off on the right foot to actually make it a game. What do they do? Take a sack and a fumble. Luckily Solder somehow recovers it, not that it really mattered.
Finally comes a running play that was pretty much how it went this night. Dont’a Hightower looks like he should’ve blown his knee out and Chandler Jones gets completely sealed off, which happened a lot this game. Not to mention a missed tackle by Wilfork. This play sums it up – defense is right there to make the plays, they just don’t make them and the result is a big gain.
