Why?

You're almost certainly talking 6 in one hand, half dozen in another. And the snap is literally the most practiced thing in all of pro football. How many fumbled exchanges do you see anymore?

Now if there's a wrinkle in this instance it's that Fulton is the backup C and the Chiefs do a lot from shotgun. Moreover, we saw the Chargers botch a simple snap/re-align a few years ago. But even that was to set up for FG and they were trying to do more than simply take a knee.

The victory formation has gone awry one time in the history of pro football and it's one of the most iconic moments ever BECAUSE of how unlikely it was. Granted, giving up 2 scores in 1:50 was damn unlikely as well.

I have a hard time giving him any static over it; young kid saw the endzone and the 'go score!' mentality is hardwired into these guys. But that being said, taking the knee was the safer play, IMO.
