The only way that Chiefs Kingdom knows how to deal with another fumble on a return by Skyy Moore is to resort to dad puns on Twitter.
At this point, we’re all just trying to cope. If you’re a member of Chiefs Kingdom and you’ve watched one fumble after another fumble after another fumble from wide receiver Skyy Moore being pressed into the role of punt returner, there’s really nothing left to say. You either laugh to keep from crying or you stop paying attention altogether.
It wasn’t so long ago that Moore cost the Chiefs the game against the Indianapolis Colts with two fumbles on punt returns back in Week 3. Those butter fingers have surfaced once again in a game that could easily be lopsided toward the Chiefs on the road against the San Francisco 49ers. Instead, the Chiefs are locked into a tight contest with the Niners and hoping that Moore’s error doesn’t cost them too much.
If you missed the play, the Chiefs played some incredible defense late in the second quarter and got the best of Jimmy Garoppolo with a key sack by Willie Gay Jr. Chiefs special teams even got the Niners to commit a false start penalty when going for a field goal which backed them up to a point where they had to punt the ball instead.
Then this is what happened:

Given that we’ve seen this play one too many times, the only thing any of us could do was crack bad jokes.

Skyy Moore should play offense, not special teams. Part 872.

The Skyy Moore experience at punt returner hasn't been a good one.
