All of those were finished at the 25-30 yard line. Not exactly the same as giving up 6 points at the goal line. Last weekend the Jaguars had a chance to slide at the goal line against Buffalo and chose not to do it. Damn near backfired on JAX, but it's an example of another team choosing to run the ball into the end zone in that situation.
Here's the first 5 games of 2022 compared to the first 5 games of 2023:
1 blowout with 1.5 quarters of garbage time (2022 Cardinals, 2023 Bears)
1 close loss where KC tried to score at the end (2022 Colts, 2023 Lions)
1 victory where KC punted on final possession (2022 Tampa, 2023 Vikings)
2 victories with various degrees of kneeling out. Here they are below...
2022 Week 2 LA Chargers: Very close game. Only 2 plays to kneel out 1:11 of clock at the Chargers 44 yard line.
2022 Week 5 LV Raiders: Very close game. Only 1 play to kneel out 41 seconds of clock at the Raiders 45 yard line.
2023 Week 2 Jaguars: Close game. 10 plays and 77 yards to kneel out 4:18 of clock at the Jaguars 1 yard line.
2023 Week 4 NY Jets: Close game. 15 plays and 45 yards to kneel out 7:34 of clock at the Jets 1 yard line.
