Super Bowl LVII: Mic'd Up

Always the best video. Been waiting and waiting for it, they just posted it, haven't even watched it yet. 

They won't let me embed it, so here's the link.



Wild stuff in here:


1. The Skyy Moore TD. It's coming on 3rd and goal from the 4. Andy Reid tries to call timeout right before the ball is snapped. This could have gone so wrong. IF they snap the ball as it's being whistled and Philly gets to see the route, then the Chiefs have to switch plays and they burn a timeout. IF that gets stopped then it's 4th and goal from the 4 and we might see a field goal instead of the td. But the reason he tries to call the timeout is because...

2. Chiefs are in the wrong formation. From watching the broadcast and listening to pundit podcasts, you think Reid gets all the credit for being a genius playcaller and dialing everything up perfectly. And then you find out they lined up in the wrong formation, and Reid is trying to call timeout. 

After watching some other clips I figured out what was wrong. Skyy Moore was supposed to be on the right side. Mahomes turns to his right and signals for motion, but Toney is over there. Toney points to the other side of the field. So Mahomes turns to his left, and is like, let's send him in motion from the left then.

Also I love Mahomes making sure that Skyy Moore's TD ball gets saved for him. 

3. Also...a bit of foreshadowing. When the Chiefs take their first lead at 28-27 after the Toney TD, Kelce comes to the sideline and has one message for the offense: More, more, more! What he doesn't realize is that the Chiefs final touchdown was going to be coming from Moore, Moore, Moore.
