Brad Robbins: The man, the mustache, the legend
Near the end of the last AFC Championship game between the Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs, in Arrowhead Stadium, the game was tied 20-20. The Bengals lined up to punt with 41 seconds left in the game.
It appeared the two teams would go to overtime before one of them won the right to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl, just like the year before. Drue Chrisman’s punt, however, wasn’t struck well and was a line drive, which enabled wide receiver Skyy Moore to return it 29 yards. A penalty later, and the Chiefs were in field-goal range.
While the loss can’t be placed on Chrisman’s shoulders, the punt didn’t help. The Bengals selected a new punter in the 2023 NFL Draft out of Michigan.
