Clyde Edwards-Helaire was ripped on Twitter by NFL fans after a costly fumble in his Kansas City Chiefs’ 36-35 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night.
The Chiefs were driving and in position to win the game with a field goal. They had a second-and-three at the Baltimore 32 with around 1:20 left in the game and time ticking off. A first down and a few more running plays would have put K.C. in position to kick a field goal while leaving the Ravens little time. But Edwards-Helaire lost a fumble that was recovered by Baltimore. The Ravens then converted a key fourth down to end the game.
Here were the Twitter reactions:
The Chiefs made Edwards-Helaire the No. 32 overall pick in the 2020 draft. He has done very little during his career to suggest he was worth such a high pick. And in this contest, he cost his team dearly.
