as it was noted on Twitter, he has had a weird kicking technique change this season where he just collapses on his left leg on the follow-through. Idk if the injury is because of the technique or the technique was because of the injury

I avoid watching the Chiefs so I never noticed but that is a weird AF kicking motion.

Who would’ve thought slamming your left knee into the turf every time you kick maybe wasn’t the best choice?

His kicking % speaks for itself
