Breaking News: Chiefs special teams units looked confused In….

One of the biggest rule changes in recent NFL history happened this offseason. Looking for excitement on an otherwise dead play, the league opted to implement a new type of kickoff. The goal of the new format is to increase returns while also minimizing injuries. A major question going into the preseason was how each team would respond to the new format and kickoff rules. During the Kansas City Chiefs’ first preseason game on Saturday, we finally got a good look at it. Let’s just say that special teams coordinator Dave Toub probably was not super thrilled with how his players looked most of the night.

Both sides of the ball committed errors and missed tackles, but the first big “yikes!” moment occurred on the Jacksonville Jaguars’ first kickoff return when wide receiver Parker Washington broke through the scrum and returned the ball 75 yards, all the way down to the 20-yard line, setting up short field position for the team’s first touchdown.
