KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- After Dave Toub arrived as special teams coordinator in 2013, it took the Kansas City Chiefs until their fourth game before they scored a touchdown in the kicking game. Dexter McCluster returned a punt 89 yards against the Giants that day.
The Chiefs would go on that season to score three more touchdowns on kick returns, and two more last season, all the while never going more than nine games without getting one.
The Chiefs are nine games into this season and are without a special teams touchdown. Combined with two games without one at the end of last season, that’s 11 straight, which is a drought for teams coached by Toub.
