Chiefs’ Tanoh Kpassagnon indicates he altered path of Falcons’ missed field goal
Was it serendipity that helped the Chiefs beat the Falcons on Sunday? Or did defensive end Tanoh Kpassagnon play a bigger role than we realized?
With the Chiefs leading 17-14, Atlanta’s Younghoe Koo lined up for a 39-yard field-goal attempt with 14 seconds to play in the game.
Koo’s kick was wide right and the Chiefs, 13-1, escaped with the victory at Arrowhead Stadium.
Koo told reporters he pushed the kick, but on Tuesday, Kpassagnon tweeted he got a finger on the ball.
A Chiefs fan on Twitter shared a photo that seems to back up Kpassagnon’s claim. Check out this picture from user Royals_Jun:
Blocking kicks has become a feature of Kpassagnon’s game.
A year ago, Kpassagnon blocked a field-goal attempt during the Chiefs’ win at New England and blocked an extra-point attempt by the Raiders.
