Chiefs Special Teams Coordinator Mistakenly Calls Timeout

Chiefs Special Teams Coordinator Steve Spagnuolo Made a Mistake

The Kansas City Chiefs special teams coordinator Steve Spagnuolo made a mistake by calling a timeout during the Chiefs' Week 1 game against the Arizona Cardinals.

The incident occurred in the third quarter after the Cardinals had scored a touchdown. Spagnuolo ran onto the field and called a timeout, but the Chiefs had already used all three of their timeouts in the half.

As a result, the Chiefs were penalized 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Loss

Ultimately, the Chiefs lost the game to the Cardinals by a score of 26-23. It is impossible to say for sure whether Spagnuolo's mistake cost the Chiefs the game, but it certainly did not help their chances of winning.
