The full breakdown

Early coverage breakdowns put Killebrew in a hole, as he was sealed inside and lost his lane on an 86-yard punt return touchdown in the first quarter (Q1 09:00) before losing contain again on a kickoff return (Q1 06:44). His most damaging mistake came in the second quarter (Q2 04:11), where he was beaten to the outside on kickoff return blocking and committed a holding penalty that negated a 33-yard return. He did respond positively in the second half of the game, highlighting his outing by shedding a block to make a kickoff tackle at Q3 07:12 and taking a strong sideline pursuit angle on punt coverage at Q2 00:06. However, those positive efforts could not completely offset the high-impact negative plays.
