THE CHIEFS KICKED SEVEN FIELD GOALS AND LOST. Lyrics by Jon Bois

CHART PARTY

2015

[JON BOIS, in person]
Ya know, sometimes, people ask me, "Jon, why are you such a piece of shit, and how did you get so stupid?" Well, it's because I'm a Kansas City Chiefs fan, and they tend to do that to you. On Sunday, they made the kinda stupid that, in turn, made history.
"I Can't Wait" by NU SHOOZ begins playing.
[ON-SCREEN TEXT]
On 10/4/2015, the Chiefs became the second team of the 21st Century to finish with 450 yards of offense and ZERO TOUCHDOWNS.
These are the seven times an NFL team has made seven field goals in a game.
Cardinals, 1967: won by 14
Vikings, 1989: won by 2
Cowboys, 1996: won by 15
Cowboys, 2003: won by 3
Titans, 2007: won by 2
Bengals, 2007: won by 14
Chiefs, 2015: LOST BY 15
Despite trailing the entire game, the Chiefs never, ever went for it on fourth down.
The Chiefs' Cairo Santos kicked his field goals from these seven field positions.
4TH AND GOAL, CIN 4
4TH AND 9, CIN 22
4TH AND 10, CIN 33
4TH AND 1, CIN 17
4TH AND 5, CIN 22
4TH AND 10, CIN 11
4TH AND 7, CIN 33
As the Bengals scored touchdowns, the Chiefs tried to play catch-up with field goals. This is a fantastic way to lose.
1ST QUARTER, DOWN 7
2ND QUARTER, DOWN 11
2ND QUARTER, DOWN 8
2ND QUARTER, DOWN 5
3RD QUARTER, DOWN 9
4TH QUARTER, 9:31 LEFT, DOWN 14
4TH QUARTER, 2:39 LEFT, DOWN 18
Their odds of converting a fourth down were often quite good. They needed four yards here. During this game, 60% of their plays from scrimmage had gained at least four yards.
4 YARDS, 60%
9 YARDS, 35%
10 YARDS, 28%
1 YARD, 68%
5 YARDS, 50%
10 YARDS, 28%
7 YARDS, 41%
The last field goal came with 2:39 left in the game. It shrunk their deficit from 18 points to 15. THEY PASSED UP ON THIS CHANCE SO THEY COULD DO THAT.
At first glance,
BENGALS 36
CHIEFS 21
does not seem like such an unusual score, but they are the saddest 21 points of all time.
