Chiefs coach Andy Reid and Bears coach John Fox are both paid a ton of money to help their teams win. On Sunday, they both failed to do their jobs.

The Chiefs lost 19-17 to the Titans while the Bears fell 30-27 against the Packers.

But specifically, both coaches hurt their teams' chances in the final seconds when they decided to ice the opposing kicker. Both kickers, the Titans' Ryan Succop and the Packers' Mason Crosby, admitted that those timeouts ended up helping them to make their game-winning kicks.

Let's start with Reid and the Chiefs. They held a 17-16 lead over the Titans, who had traveled to the Chiefs' 35-yard line when Marcus Mariota spiked the ball with five seconds showing on the clock. Out trotted Succop to attempt a 53-yard field goal.

He missed, short. But, because Reid called timeout before the play, Succop was given another chance. After watching his first try fall short, he decided not to worry about technique.

"I felt like I hit the first one good and when it came up short, there was a second in my mind where I wasn't sure if I could even reach from there," Succop said, via ESPN. "So on the second one, I kind of just had to throw technique out the window a little bit and really go after it and hit it as hard as I could."

He drilled it, ruining the Chiefs' chance to remain atop the AFC West.

As for Fox and the Bears, they weren't playing for a division title, but they did have an opportunity to spoil the Packers' season. Using a 17-point comeback in the fourth quarter, the Bears tied the game in the final minutes. But after Aaron Rodgers' 60-yard bomb to Jordy Nelson, the Packers spiked the ball at the Bears' 14-yard line with just enough time for a field goal.

Like Reid, Fox used a timeout just before the final snap, which allowed Crosby to attempt a practice kick -- he made it. Crosby nailed the kick again after the timeout.

Obviously, because Crosby made the kick that didn't count, nobody will blame Fox for his decision to ice the kicker. But after hearing what Crosby had to say after the game, Fox should be criticized, because the process is more important than the result -- after all, game management is something that Fox has continually struggled with and it's an area he hasn't shown any improvement in (just look at his decision to kick a game-tying field goal against the Packers instead of going for a game-winning touchdown).

Crosby made it clear he was happy that Fox called a timeout.

#Packers K Mason Crosby said John Fox's timeout actually helped. He didn't kick much before Jordy Nelson's catch. Gave him a warmup. — Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) December 18, 2016

The lesson here: Stop icing kickers. In actuality, all it does is warm them up.
