The entrance to the cave of Polyphemus is blocked by a gigantic stone, that him and his entire crew couldn't move. If Polyphemus were to be killed, then his entire crew would be trapped in the cave.
Odysseus blinds the cyclops with a sharpened spear. They escape by attaching themselves to the bottom of the sheep.

In the Odyssey, the 72 men were killed by the Cyclops named Polyphemus. Odysseus and his crew became trapped in the Cyclops' cave, and to escape, they blinded Polyphemus. As a result, the enraged Cyclops killed some of Odysseus' men as they were leaving the island.
