Nick blew it. Plain and simple. To blame it on a rookie is tenuous at best.
Nick blew it in 1989. He missed two field goals (one in regulation and one in overtime) that would have put the Chiefs at 9-7 and in the playoffs.
Marty wanted him gone
then. His partying and lifestyle was a "bad influence" on the other players.
