[@t4d0W]

Spags was always one of the best blitz heads. You didn't hear much of it when his defense was just Chris Jones and a shaky secondary. Hell he busted out run blitzes to foil with the Niners O-line zone blocking and cut at their weakness which is interior blocking. That is why he had Chenal taking up B or C gaps and turning potential explosive CMC runs into solid 4-7 yard stops.

Great video covering a somehow still underrated unit. It points out something I've been saying all playoffs against the "Why don't they keep running the ball against them?" narrative that the media and fans keep saying. It's like they don't understand how much the Chiefs defense is forcing the opposing team to abandon the run because it's shut down for the most part. They're just seeing stats from a few broken plays and thinking that's what the average would be. The run defense during this playoff run was severely overlooked and this breaks it down fantastically.

[@t4d0W]

Exactly. Like Spags sure looks 'ballsy' with his approach and play choice for adjustments but he literally drew the line on the sand on the first half. He sold out to defend the Niners run offense (inside specifically) and the run blitzes to plug the B/C gaps so CMC would need to bounce outside but also had the Chiefs big dudes waiting. People don't realize at worse Kyle gets his and the Niners offense puts up 2-3 TDs by the first half so then Mahomes has to go beyond magical on an obvious Chiefs passing script. The fact Spags got that Niners offense on 10 points by half time meant he's figured out the Niners run offense and just had to not let the pass game kill them. Considering the Niners offense is one of the most explosive all season long in the first half and even in the 2nd half against some teams.

​@@samdefore2692that freak Greenlaw injury was huge as well

[@t4d0W]

You can say the Niners were the better team. But the Chiefs defense matched up well with what Shanahan's offense likes to do. Chiefs were great against zone runs this season so Niners had to hammer them inside. Since Niners couldn't really do that, Spags just had to adjust for the passing attack. Meanwhile Niners defense stuck to zone while being porous against the run. Can't stop Mahomes/Reid with zone coverage and Pacheco has been a tactical advantage when teams can't stop him on the ground in the playoffs. Also Niners interior O-line was already working with a stacked deck. They made it harder on themselves with their zone blocking rules to keep pulling guards while not keeping the Chiefs interior DLs or blitzers outside in check. Feliciano getting injured was just the nail that hit the coffin for that group. Put way too much on Trent Williams whom Spags was also ready for one on one match ups.

[@kevinbrennan-ji1so]

@@t4d0WThe Chiefs defense matched up well with every team, because they were a damn good defense (and better with Omenihu). But I thought the Niners ran just fine in the game. They struggled in pass blocking and dealing with some of the exotic blitzes, including the 3rd-and-5 with 2 minutes left, where the Chiefs had only 2 down linemen, 2 linebackers and 7 DBs. I applaud Spags' gameplan and his calls, but let's be honest - if the Niners block just decently on those key plays, they win the game.

[@edgrafke918]

Never gets old, superb play by play analysis.

[@theresaherman]

Old guy here. Fantastic breakdown of the Chiefs defense, especially their Dline. They had role playing big men on that Dline that nobody’s ever heard. Mike Pennel was a huge run stopper. Chris Jones gets all the headlines, as he should, because he blew up several key plays. None bigger than the 3rd and 4 from the KC 8 yardline in OT. SF right side Oline missed a block and Jones came through untouched to almost crush Purdy. If you watch the replay, you’ll see that #38 Sneed, falls down and by the time he gets back up, Aiyuk is wide open in the end zone. If Purdy has enough time to set his feet, it’s an easy TD pass. If KC wants to go for the 3peat, they need to Jones big time and find a way to keep Sneed. Because they need that “sticky” man coverage. Great video.

[@DamonNomad82]

As the saying goes, "Offense wins games, but defense wins championships!" That sums up this season for KC in a nutshell. The quality of the Chiefs' offense as a whole (though Mahomes was still as good as ever individually, he had far fewer weapons in his arsenal than in prior seasons) in the regular season was visibly poorer than it had been at any other time since KC started dominating the AFC a few years ago. This led to a much steeper mountain to climb in the playoffs, as KC had to play 3 postseason games to win the AFC title instead of the usual 2, and all but the first one were on the road instead of at Arrowhead. The combination of Mahomes doing just enough on offense and the defense coming through more than ever before in the postseason was what allowed the Chiefs to repeat as champions.

Great video. Great analysis. As a lifelong Chiefs fan, it has always been offense or defense, never both. Our receiving woes this year were masked by that great defense.

[@louisastuto2878]

I doubt many will remember the game Mike Pennel played in this Super Bowl, but he was incredible. A 10 year NFL journeymen who’s been on 7-8 teams playing like this is unheard of, he played his best football in the game of his life. The chiefs do not win this game without him.

[@justthrowitgolf]

great perspective and analysis .. followed 👊

[@edwardsmith7739]

Excellent analysis, finally someone who points out that it is frequently a player not in on the tackle whose play allows the tackle to occur. Thanks.

[@Phillip-py7pc]

3:54 Justin Reid took that man out, THE CHIEFS DEFENSE IS VERY VIOLENT AND HITS HARD!

[@jasonbarney5587]

Fantastic breakdown. Well done.

[@pauldaily6201]

Your commentary is far superior to several others who can't put the words of a sentence together to actually explain the plays on the field. Nice job.

[@range78]

great video, thanks!

[@aiRxShop]

Wow.. nice breakdown! Definitely didn’t catch a lot of this when watching. That’s my chiefs! lol still feels so weird that my chiefs are this amazing right now.

[@johnrockenbach7241]

Great job with the break down.

[@peterbenson8183]

Good stuff, thank you

[@mediamannaman]

Skills players get all the credit simply because most of us just follow the ball with our eyes and don't notice the grunt work in the trenches. Thanks for highlighting where the magic really happens.

Spags had all defensive players playing as a team fundamental aggressive football with excellent disguises

[@premer15]

Chiefs defense was so underrated this year. They played elite all season. In Spags we trust!

[@jedic5071]

Good stuff bro!

[@TheManchise517]

That's a complete team with a great QB..my Jets should take note..

[@Hello-816]

I don't know why I'm laughing so hard, but you saying Mike Pennel "fork lifting" him off his feet has me dying laughing.lol

Them Boyz balled out #CHIEFSKINGDOM

[@shaggydaboy2]

I said before the game that Brock would be destroyed by Spags defense, and he actually held up WAY better than i expected. Leo Chennel deserved MVP for that performance. He single handedly saved multiple first downs for the Chiefs.

[@samdefore2692]

The most important 49er injury was Feliciano out in the second half, once Purdy lost him, his O line got completely run over.

[@thenaturalkc]

Great breakdown. Well done. Small correction @3:53 it's JUSTIN Reid, not Eric. Great X's and O's breakdown. Really great to see the All 22 view.

[@williamstacey5348]

Your analysis is always stellar, been waiting for this. Now how about the Chief's offensive analysis?

[@HeliosWrath]

Awesome breakdown.

[@canadienmedic1034]

Great breakdown

[@markodell4717]

Great Film Study. All the 49er fans and pundits need to watch this because they're reasoning for the loss is that they stopped running CMC. No, KC held CMC to 3.5 yards per carry. That is why Kyle stopped running him. Some Pundits think they know everything about football, except for how to play it.

[@user-pn9ix5yt6v]

Thank you❤❤❤❤

[@Oneil-TV]

People dont understand how intelligently this game was played. The 49ers never had a chance.

[@GizmoMaltese]

What are you talking about they never had a chance? They had several chances. They were one first down at the end of regulation away from winning that game. And Chiefs got a real lucky bounce with that muffed punt. It was an even game. I'd say 49ers played a little better but lost on the bounce of the ball.

[@t4d0W]

@@GizmoMaltese Special teams stuff may seem lucky but having Mahomes means the Chiefs can afford a few setbacks and still be in the game. You can't say that about Brock and his avengers squad where they had to dump scores on this Chiefs defense by the first half to force Mahomes' hand.

[@genepaolino6072]

Lol mahomes had no wespons but travis u kidding me give mahomes the 49rs or ravens weapons and its a blowout

[@brooklyndrumcompany]

Superb analysis! Waiting for the Chiefs to lock up some of these key defensive components now before targeting a WR

[@toddmarshall2726]

Fantastic breakdown! The San Fran O-line got beat but they still were close to winning that game. KC tried to give it away a few times.

[@raysville7256]

Xcellent content
