Do you agree with the fake field-goal punt call?
Chiefs were up 10 with 2:45 left on the clock. Cowboys had no timeouts. It would have been a 52-yard field goal attempt. Obviously, the execution was great, but do you agree with the call?

I liked it. It was 52 and he just missed one from 51. I’m confident he’d have made the one from 52 but the game situation I was down.
The way the defense was playing and their offense was playing it was a good move. Probably more important is it’s on wax. The bigger issue is it might save us 3 points later. If a team has it in their head that they may have to cover the punt they may not rush quite as hard and we might make one that is otherwise blocked. Double win. |

It was a great call, and Butker just nailed it. Makes up for him costing us four points, grr.

What was the point of the trickery? They trust Butker more in pressure situations more than Townsend?

If it was 41-31 at the time or maybe if the Cowboys had all 3 timeouts left, you would at least think twice about it.... but, the Cowboys had nothing on offense, so it was completely fine for the situation.

It was a great call. The wind was horrible.

I actually would have preferred they punted the previous time, when they missed the field goal. Even then, with just over ten minutes left, I thought the smarter thing was to punt them deep. Then, when they lined up for ANOTHER attempt, I really couldn't believe it. Was happy to see it punted.

I agree with those that would have punted except, this call made it harder to block. The cowboys special teams unit had almost blocked two punts. A blocked punt TD would given them a chance. This let us sneak a punt by them.

I was hoping for a safety afterwards get two points and the ball back but Cowboys moved the chains.
Safety after pinning them at the 2 would have been epic.
