For the second straight playoff game, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid made a major mistake.
Against the Cincinnati Bengals, Reid got away with it.
But he might not be so lucky against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII.
Just before the end of the half, the Chiefs had the ball with a chance to either score or run the clock down to avoid giving the Eagles a chance to score.
Kansas City didn't run the ball at all and threw two incomplete passes which saved Philly's timeouts and gave them plenty of time to score.
The Eagles proceeded to go down the field and score a field goal, extending their lead to 10 points at the half.
Reid did the same thing in the AFC Championship game against the Bengals. The Chiefs threw three incomplete passes and gave the ball back to Cincy with just over two minutes remaining in the half.
The Bengals then converted a field goal just before the half to get within seven.
Kansas City got away with it against Cicninnati. They'll have a tougher time against an Eagles team that went into the half in complete control of the game.
