My guess is....yes.
I gave up brewing for a few years. This is my third batch since resuming the hobby.
I even know what I did. I was brewing a kit that had two separate packets of hops. I forgot to add the final bag before the end of the boil, so I just tossed it in as I was cooling the wort.
In retrospect, could I have boiled the hops first in a little water, then added to the wort? With what I did, I obviously introduced a lot of unsterilized material after the boil. At least I won't make that mistake again.
