The Chiefs pulled off the most perfect punt against the Steelers on Sunday. Dustin Colquitt hit a 43-yarder, which bounced inside the Steelers’ 1-yard line.
Look at this perfect Chiefs punt
It was great execution by the punt coverage team, too.
Jeanna Kelley has been covering the Falcons for The Falcoholic since 2011 and the NFL for SB Nation since 2015.
The punt came after the Chiefs weren’t able to capitalize on a Ben Roethlisberger interception and went three-and-out. Coverage was perfect, and Akeem Hunt was able to grab the ball on the bounce and keep it out of the end zone, avoiding a touchback. His teammates downed it at the 1-yard line.
It pinned the Steelers deep in their own territory, but it didn’t slow Ben Roethlisberger down. He hit tight end Vance McDonald for a 26-yard gain to kick off a drive that ended in a field goal. The Steelers lead the Chiefs 12-3. But that punt was still a thing of beauty.
