A meaningless Chiefs returned blocked extra point became a horrible bad beat

It’s Monday, so as we do from time to time to kick off the week, we’re giving you a horrendous bad beat from the weekend of football action.

This one is a doozy, mostly because of the recent NFL rule changes that made it possible for a team to return an extra point attempt to the end zone for two points.

The Kansas City Chiefs were up 38-9 with 39 second left in the fourth quarter against the visiting Oakland Raiders, who had just scored a touchdown and were attempting the PAT. But the Chiefs blocked it and took the ball the distance for a 40-9 lead.

But the over/under for the game hovered somewhere around 49. So either bettors ended up with a push or a loss instead of a win that was all but secured had the Raiders nailed the extra point.

Ugh.

Ouch.
