Dave Toub: Chiefs’ special teams struggle in Jacksonville was a ‘learning experience’

During the Kansas City Chiefs26-13 preseason road loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Saturday, the squad’s special teams were anything but special.

Late in the second quarter, a Jaguars kickoff landed in the end zone, bounced into the field of play and came to rest inside the 1-yard line. Under the new rules, it was still a live ball. Unaware of this, running back Deneric Prince was already headed to the sideline, so wide receiver Mecole Hardman kneeled in the end zone and pulled the ball back across the goal line.
