The Los Angeles Chargers’ best opportunity of turning fortunes on Sunday was dashed by the approach of the Chiefs’ special teams — in particular, punt team snapper James Winchester.
The Chargers had scored to close the gap to 31-20 and forced a three-and-out. KC’s Dustin Colquitt punted from the 27 with about 10 minutes remaining.
“Then it was kind of a perfect storm,” Winchester said.
A perfect snap and a booming Colquitt punt had rookie wide receiver JJ Jones drifting back to the corner of the field. He attempted to make the catch at the 14 but muffed it.
