Chrisman will escape a lot of criticism due to being a punter and due to the fact that so many other things went wrong in that 4th quarter.
Fact is, punting that ball in straight line down the field was almost as egregious if not more, than Ossai tagging Mahomes out of bounds. Ossai can at least blame adrenaline and the heat of the moment. Chrisman had one job at a critical moment, and not angling that ball was about the dumbest thing he could have done in that situation. It was a very expensive mistake that very much set them up to fail on the last drive. He gave the best qb in the game a short field to a game winning field goal and the defense had very little room for error.
