Last year, Kansas City Chiefs fans were losing their minds in the middle of September. A team coming off a playoff season was 0-2, including losses to the Denver Broncos and the lowly Tennessee Titans. The anger had to be directed at someone, and the undrafted rookie kicker from Tulane University, Cairo Santos, was the scapegoat.
Santos had struggled badly after replacing veteran Ryan Succop during that time, making one field goal off the uprights while missing two of his four four attempts. However, Santos would prove his worth. Over the final 14 games, Santos went 23-of-26 without missing an extra point.
