I was on the front row, 40 yard line Chief's sideline for the 2nd round loss to the Colts in 95. We had compiled a 13-3 record w/ a 1st round bye and home field throughout the playoffs. Our kicker at the time, Linn Elliott, missed 3 short field goals, any one of which would have won the game. At least 1, if not more of them, was shorter than an extra point.
The funny part is that the Chiefs released him after the game and he was invited to Vikings camp the following year. He hit an overtime field goal in a pre-season game and told the reporters that it "was for all those people in KC that didn't think he could hit a high pressure kick." What incredible nerve to blow three kicks in the playoffs and then try to make up for it with a preseason kick. What an idiot.
By the way, where is Linn Elliott now?......Exactly.
