Dave Toub: Byron Pringle hit 21 miles per hour on return touchdown called back
Late in the second quarter of the Kansas City Chiefs’ 34-31 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, both special teams' units likely altered the eventual outcome. The Bengals — after trailing by two touchdowns much of the first half — kicked a field goal to bring the eventual halftime score to 28-17 in favor of Kansas City.
On the ensuing kickoff, the Chiefs appeared to take back the momentum as Byron Pringle returned the ball 89 yards for a touchdown. Unfortunately, a holding call by rookie reserve safety Zayne Anderson negated Pringle’s heroics. Instead of a 35-17 halftime lead, the Chiefs offense took over at their own 16-yard line with only 30 seconds left until halftime.
