Kansas City Chiefs special teams coordinator Dave Toub addressed the media on Thursday, reflecting on the blocked PAT against the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII.
“(It was) just a normal week. Every week, we emphasize getting a good push inside and getting your hands up every time because you never know when it could be a low kick,” said Toub. “That happened to be just a little bit of a low kick, and we had our hands up, and Leo (Chenal) got his hand on it first, and then it deflected off of Mike Danna’s hand; huge play ended up in that game. We always talk about that now (laughter), ever since then. I mean, we talk about how important it is to get your hands up and get that good push.”
The fourth-quarter block was crucial, as the game eventually went into overtime, and the Chiefs were victorious. Whether or not Toub’s crew can muster up another block this Sunday, the play is still a pivotal moment that helped secure another Super Bowl title.
