He had a game altering miss against Denver in the 97 playoffs (Yeah, I know the phantom hold caused him to be pushed back, but still).
And he had a soul crushing miss against Oakland that would have sent the Chiefs to the 99 playoffs - which would have been the last hoorah for the Chiefs of that era. The Chiefs then lost against Rich Gannon (Carl sure had a talent for picking qb’s, eh?) and then was hit one of the franchises biggest tragedies ever a few weeks later (not Stoyo’s fault, just a difficult time in general).
Despite Buttkicker getting a reputation for having XP issues, he’s always been nails at the perfect times.
