The worst, most consequential play of the NFL’s Week 1 game on Sunday goes to the Cleveland Browns’ punter, Jamie Gillan.
Cleveland has led Kansas City for the majority of Sunday afternoon’s contest. However, a major gaffe by the Browns’ punter has handed the game back to the Chiefs.
The Browns’ 27-year-old punter dropped a snap and, instead of attempting to punt the ball, ran with it before getting tackled.
Kansas City’s return team stopped him easily, giving the ball back to their offense. The Chiefs’ offense didn’t hesitate to score a touchdown, taking the lead.
Here’s what happened:

It’s not a good time to be the Browns’ punter, that is for sure.

It’s shaping up to be a big finish.
