The Kansas City Chiefs are your Super Bowl champions. No, this is not a recording from February of 2023. They just won it again in 2024.
A pivotal play on offense was this fourth-down conversion by Patrick Mahomes and the KC unit. Andy Reid's play call shined through as he gave the 49ers a look that gave them fits. He forced their defensive line to make a decision, and they chose wrong.
Why did Reid know that the call would be successful? San Fran had set a precedent with star edge rusher Nick Bosa and the rest of their DL.
He was attacking the backside of runs, and Reid used that against him. That's how the 49ers game planned all season long. Reid and his staff knew that and adjusted for Sunday evening accordingly.
The decision from Reid proves the elite planning that he does, especially for postseason moments. Knowing tendencies like that one from the SF defense and Bosa was the difference between picking up a crucial fourth down and failing it, giving the Niners all of the momentum.
With the option play call, Patrick Mahomes had multiple outlets to pick up the first down. It's the little things from Reid. That's the difference.
