[@ronaldroberts9274]

On the interception, mahomes hit square when he meant to hit x. Happens to the best of us

[@JDinKC]

LOL yeah it kinda looked like when I sneeze mid game and hit random buttons

[@TheShepdawg9]

Nah it was just awful

[@zacharyschultz7991]

looked like he got an orange inaccurate throw on madden lol

[@dueceiswi7d]

Haaaaaaaaaaaa

[@rekus37]

Actually I think he was throwing to Valdez because he was open but threw it too late and gave the defense time to close that window.

[@theresaherman]

Old guy here. It looks like to me on some of these plays, KC used Bosa’s aggressiveness toward the middle of the line, against him. So he basically took himself OUT of the play with his own quickness. Crazy good coaching.

[@kccryptkeeper4874]

The Chiefs know this they have burned him in multiple games.

[@wavion2]

Yeah, half the time they don't even try to block him. They deliberately double-team the guy next to Bosa and just sort of funnel Bosa into a spot where he won't matter.

[@masterp2269]

​@@wavion2Exactly. Brilliant plans to negate him. Bait him and take the play elsewhere.

[@Chiefs_fan1595]

Yes he kept crashing down and giving up the outside containment. I got chewed out for doing the same thing when I played football in middle school lol

[@georgejohnsonn]

@@kccryptkeeper4874 Bosa doesnt learn, its kinda sad to see. The chiefs own his ass.

[@danielburt7849]

He paid big bucks for that seat.

[@LacSlyer]

The thing with that 4th and 1, not only does he have Kelce in the flat, but Rice turns around like he's expecting the ball, even has his hands up for it, so I think he's got 2 pass options there. Amazingly designed play.

[@jacobtuttle6063]

I think Any Reid confirmed the run was the third option, but Mahomes told him if he doesn’t have an immediate option he’s running it

[@venitiousquash7400]

I have been a Chief fan since 1977, worked at Arrowhead as a teenager, and bonded with my mom over Chiefs and Razorback football. Had to listen to my husband for 30 years tease me about the Chiefs not winning since Hank Shram days. My husband is a Cowboy fan and oh how the tables have turned. Chiefs Kingdom!!!!

[@ladyc3205]

That’s sweet victory victory for KC Chiefs and fans!

[@MrDavidknigge]

How could you have committed to someone so delusional?

[@Pinchshot39]

We're America's team now

[@anthonygardner1934]

The fact that in so many of those plays, the Kansas City Chiefs were wide open, is a testament to the coaching and just being aware of your position on the field as a player . That’s why I say it was just a masterful coaching effort.

[@madnessontheisland]

Every film breakdown I've seen confirms it. The better team won.

[@jonschlottig9584]

The team that made key plays won. The 9ers had multiple ops to finish this game. And the punt return gaffe. The better team did not win.

[@madnessontheisland]

@@jonschlottig9584 I guess that depends on your definition of "better." A team that's "better on paper," beating up on lesser teams all season can't always beat a team in the playoffs who is better coached in all three phases, better in big situations when plays must be made and vastly more experienced having nerves of steel while their opponents crumble under pressure. Clearly the better team did win, as I previously stated. Tell me, what is Shanahan's record against Andy Reid again? That should be a clue for you.

[@mizzou19]

Just a special player. Damn

[@WhoIsMike]

Just food for thought. 73 played the whole second half with a completely torn UCL.

[@jeruakel]

Which 73?

[@WhoIsMike]

@@jeruakel nick allegretti guard for the Chiefs.

[@levisnyder6585]

[@truettwalters8452]

I just wanted to say thanks to you man. I coach pop Warner kids and we haven’t lost a game in 3 years and I owe a lot of that success to your videos and other streamers like you. You guys not only show me which plays are good but WHY they’re good so I can instill those details in the kids. It allows our execution to be just a little bit better than everyone else’s and that’s what makes the difference.

[@hkmarhk]

The final drive was so clean. In one of the plays, he thought about throwing it downfield but then immediately changed his mind and checked down instead. It just showed how quick his decision making has become.

[@xPrymeTimex]

Beautiful breakdown! What they did to Bosa was a masterclass by itself! He was wrecking the game in the first half, and Nagy said "stop blocking him and let him through" matador style!!

[@chrismiddleton4733]

In a blender! What a perfect description by JT. If you can't block him, just put him in a situation where you use his aggressiveness against him. Give him multiple wrong choices and trust the best QB on the planet to quickly diagnose how to exploit it even with a bull charging towards him.

[@PowderKeg3838]

Watching Kelce win routes and Deebo getting worked all game is glaringly a difference between two players.

[@BigfoxN-A-chiccenhouse]

I’d love to see a breakdown on what the Chiefs staff seen from Bosa through the year’s film to be so confident in targeting him on that drive.

[@breed4052]

they saw the first half. that’s as far back as you have to look

[@bam0007]

I dont remember who it was but before the superbowl someone did a breakdown of the last time 49ers and chiefs played last year. And they actually did the same thing of using the aggressiveness and speed against Bosa. There were several plays they let him go unblocked for this exact reason.

[@cuttyone70]

I'm going to say it again over and over again...Condensed formation you're only person who called them out about this formation

[@fritzco55]

Was a phenomenal game on both sides of the ball. Mahomes is a difference maker.

[@thegoodyearlimp6643]

27:25 According to AWS, this is the fastest that Travis Kelce has moved on the field in 7 years

[@dominicharris5489]

That long throw to hardman was absurdly well placed.

[@chiefschicktx]

McKinnon on that last play blocking Bosa... Dude will try to take on anybody.

[@levisnyder6585]

Not to mention he used to be a niner

[@QA4nAofm0]

It’s scary how complete of a player Mahomes is, it’s hard to nitpick even a single weakness. He’s the absolute ceiling regardless of position and his success is casting a shadow onto the AFC.

[@user-qm7fx7yj1q]

Here’s a weakness for you: not consistently good until the final moments.

[@masterp2269]

​@@user-qm7fx7yj1qHe is doing it better than anyone...so do you just say everyone isn't very good?

[@stevebuhrt3504]

So… he’s clutch? That’s his weakness?😂 Also he has the best numbers of all time so wtf do you mean not consistently good

[@jaha777jaha6]

Okay even if that was a problem the only reason they're not blowing ppl out like before is because they still lack at wr, easily attainable in one off-season, mahomes is the best QB in the league and kept those drives alive in the 3rd​,4th qtr for another championship@@user-qm7fx7yj1q

[@ryanevans371]

​@user-qm7fx7yj1q What does this even mean? "Isn't consistently good"? So...he makes mistakes sometimes? Yeah, he does....so does everybody. Very nearly all of them make more. So what you're saying is he doesn't become perfect until clutch time, when he DOES become perfect? Yeah....hell of a flaw... 🤡

[@actavisprime514]

Wow you pointing out 83 at 28:27 is why I love this channel. I would’ve never even noticed that impactful play from a backup that won’t show up in the stat sheet but was vital to the outcome. Great stuff

[@jyc313]

Mahomes is just special no matter how you skin that cat. Just built to be a QB. It's gonna be fun watching him play for the next 10 years or so.

[@jocosailor7092]

Just want to say Thank You very much for this breakdown....I'm sure I'll watch it over and over

[@whiteChocolate808081]

The INT from Patrick was one of those moments when you change your mind at the last second and so your body completes an action that is in between the 1st and 2nd choice. I know this from experience. The 1 one time I whacked myself on the forehead learning how to use wooden numb-chucks.

[@Bugjuice6193]

I think Mecole Hardmon does a good job looking towards the sideline on that deep post to make #31 look over the wrong shoulder. Then at last second Hardmon adjusts up towards the path of the ball.

[@krisk31]

The patience that Andy has to save his great play designs until the perfect time is crazy. He had opportunities to use some of those options in the first half but he was so smart and patient to just hold on to those plays until it mattered most. He even does it during the regular season. It’s almost like he opens up half of his playbook for the regular season then opens up the other half come the playoffs.

[@amritpatil5556]

The mahomes interception was more because of the play that happened just before that where Pacheco did a big fumble on the snap and mahomes was super frustrated with him because this was the second time he did it after the first half debacle. It was playing on mahomes' mind. Pachecho was overwhelmed by the superbowl. Mahomes just did not want another 3 and out and tried to make something happen. Nobody wants to win a game more than mahomes..

[@remosewa]

49ers defense played well enough to win the game. In the end mahomes is gonna do mahomes things. The problem was the 49ers offense let the chiefs hang around too long and didn't put it away. Seems like the Chiefs defense is what really won them the game.

[@MrDavidknigge]

You watched this breakdown and still had that conclusion? The Niner defense crumbled in the 4thQ and OT when it mattered. The KC defense held your offense. It wasn't that your offense let you down. The last time the Niners played a great defense was against the Ravens where again they failed to perform because they were simply outplayed.

[@jerraddennis2225]

At the end of regulation and before the Chiefs got the ball in OT my fiancee (who’s not a football fan but watched with me) kept saying “why are you so happy? aren’t they losing?” and i told her both times, win or lose you can’t hope for anything more than Mahomes to have the ball with Big Red in his ear.

[@jsommeljay100]

Good to see Mecole Hardman do well after coming back from the JETS.

[@WillFeral420]

This hurts my soul to watch him march down the field on the Niners to beat them 😭 I knew when they settled for the FG in OT that he was going to go for the kill with a TD. Against that type of QB, you don't settle for a FG in OT. While I can see why Kyle decided to take the first possession of OT: you get the opportunity for a third possession to win the game if need. But if you decide to take the ball first, you MUST go for the TD instead of settling for the FG because a TD by the opponent ends the game anyways. So get a TD, KC can match, then you get the ball again and a FG can win you the game. Personally, deferring is the better option.

[@grimaceburgers4491]

KC said they were going for 2 if San Fran scored a TD

[@rustyreese4006]

You have the number one ranked defense that only needs one more stop in the biggest game of their lives. The 9ers defense just failed them in the end. The KC defense did its job even when completely exhausted. So I can't blame shanny for taking the three points and putting his faith in that number one super defense they have been talking about all season.

[@shade0mirth]

This is definitely the only channel that helps me understand what is actually going on in these plays.

[@spoonsz]

27:25 this was the fastest kelce has ran in the last 7 years per next gen stats

[@B2Roland]

Mahomes had a manning and a Brady type game wrapped into one. Spend a half feeling them out, dissecting their tendencies and then rip their hearts out the rest of the night. Niners defense wasn't well prepared or coached seemingly. Had no answers.

[@anthonygardner1934]

Stalk your defense from an offense of perspective, which is wild, and then go for the kill in the third and fourth quarters all he needs is for his defense to just buy him some time so he can conduct his analysis and then any pics you apart

[@dfp_01]

​​@@anthonygardner1934Bingo. He and Reid and Spags are the best trio in the league at figuring their opponents out and scheming up the perfect plays to counter later in the game. And opposing coaches must naively think if they're up at halftime or well into the third quarter that they don't also need to adjust. The only quarterbacks that have won Super Bowls since Mahomes became a starter are him, Brady twice, and Stafford once.

[@trevormcclaughry7883]

Dude I love your breakdowns and I hope you keep doing this school your one of my favorite dudes on here

The first half defensive pressure on Mahomes looked a lot like the Tampa Super Bowl and he seemed uncomfortable. After the disastrous possession coming out of halftime the Chiefs were finally able to run their offense and let Mahomes do his thing. The defense getting stops in the 3rd quarter was exactly the opportunity he needed and it was fun to watch.

[@jared1750]

Oh boy. A comment for the algorithm. Let's go!!!

[@truettwalters8452]

I think on that bad INT by Mahomes he was gonna put it out in front of 11 first but then Kelce kinda put a move on his guy and came open at the last second so Mahomes changed his mind but when he released the ball it just kinda came out somewhere in between them.

[@artiststevens]

The Zone-Read Run: that was a pattern setup through the whole game. Mahomes was diving his RB’s the whole time up till then, to some if not little success. I think that’s what got Bosa committing on that 4th down read. Clutch…..gutsy play from #15 in Red.

4:01 Says a lot about Mahomes. For whatever reason there’s so few QBs who can run these offenses the right way & play from behind when needed. Yet too many teams want to pay big money to the wrong guy. Yet at 26:25 he can make a short toss when every other QB is taking a sack or throwing it away.

Watch the Mahomes interception again. It was wide open for him to run after climbing the pocket. He tucked that away and pulled it out in OT.

[@anthonyrussell7129]

Masterclass in crunch time.

[@GodHatesXbox]

For any young people playing as a wideout or TE.. That outside leverage play with kelce around the 20 minute mark was a thing of beauty because how FLAT he runs to the sideline. That’s the huge difference from the pros. Young guys tend to round that out & it makes you lose your leverage that you just won. STAY FLAT on all of your routes & you will keep your leverage.

[@BillPlain1]

J.T. O'Sullivan gives us more than any legacy sports media legends, even with them having time to tell the story. Dan Patrick gives the "Greats" all the time in the world, and they still don't provide this type of understanding of the game. The QB School really is a great school, for those that love the game.

[@kennethbeatty3618]

ik its a zone read, but look at how well Rice got off his man at 14:06. if mahomes wanted to dump that off and placed it right in stride that's a house call bc of the post safety already committing to the right side

[@Cubey15]

How was there only 2 clips of the 1st half?? I was intrigued to see what the 9ers did to keep him so quiet for that first half …

[@TheQBSchool]

full-game coming soon

[@NotExplicable]

I think he missed 87 that's a tough throw while running, he probably saw 87 and looked behind him then his body adjusted to his eyes and not his mental read while running, that's a lot of processes switching while running.

[@benjaminwachold3736]

87 was the primary target 🎯 for everything the 49ers did defensively because he was always double covered in the game. Nick Bosa’s aggressive play was used against him. I noticed the communication from Creed Humphrey to the rest of the O line when the 49ers went to cover 0 on a 2 minute drive. It looks like the primary read was 97 the whole second half of the game.

[@danielburt7849]

Nearly every Chiefs offensive play Starts with a groundball to Mahomes at shortstop. The best infielder in the NFL.

[@matthewbrooks7826]

Just recently found this channel and am really enjoying it. Just finished watching both this video and the Purdy breakdown. I learned a lot but the way J.T. talked about how bad the 49ers offense was against the Chiefs defense and how great Chiefs offense was against the 49ers defense you would think this was 35 to 7 blowout instead of a 3 point win in overtime aided by recovering 6 of 7 fumbles in the game. Seems maybe the play to play perspective is a little skewed by the final result.

[@ChumblesMumbles]

After the first 2/3 of the game were done, the KC inevitability drum-beat started going.

[@bigsnacks2350]

I can't even get past the first couple of plays without seeing 3 different Holds on the O line, and then watch the 9ers hesitate to hit mahomes because it's a penalty if they do. Chiefs should not have won this game.

Love your break downs. Master Chief15. WOW. Amazing on the Corn Dog play. They BAIT Bosa. They let him go free that then determines where Pat goes with the ball. Unreal.

[@luizsalazar87]

24:30 pre-snap it's a Cover 3 look, post snap the coverage is Cover 2 Fire. You can tell because the safety at the bottom of the screen widens out into the Cover 2 deep half. Pre-snap the safety at the top starts out in a deep middle alignment but post snap doesn't widen and continues to backpedal until the ball is thrown, resulting in him being 10 yards away from the WR. The WR is Justin Watson who isn't a deep threat. You have to know the personnel and not give so much ground to him At 17:08 it's Cover 2 pre-snap and Cover 3 post snap. The safety at the bottom doesn't get to the deep middle. #48 over reacts to motion and doesn't feel the defender behind him making it an easy TD. At 31:05 Bosa and Werner both go for the back on the zone read. One defender has to be assigned to the QB. With Werner being in zone coverage it is Bosa who is at fault. A passive option is to have the DE slow play the QB at the line of scrimmage. This means he squeezes the tackle blocking down while keeping his shoulders square to the QB, if you turn your shoulders inside it makes you a step slower if the QB keeps it. A way to attack the zone read and confuse the QB is to have the DE crash and have the LB rush outside and become the QB contain defender. Another option is to blitz someone off the edge like the Ravens do with Kyle Hamilton. You didn't see Mahomes constantly running zone reads against the Ravens and it's for a reason. At 37:28 on the game winning TD, if Bosa doesn't crash, it is a walk in TD by McKinnon. #48 over reacts to motion again, despite it not going across the field to his side. Steve Wilks lives and dies by the zone, but I think the 49ers could have overcame it with better attention to detail. On disguises the safeties have to get to their markers post snap. On motion #48 can't over react and take him self out of the play. I don't think the 49ers prepared for the zone read at all. On zone reads, roles have to be defined. Not once did I see Bosa slow play or attack the QB. I don't think the missing piece Kyle Shanahan needs to win a ring is a player, I think it is a DC. No coach in the NFL has been known for their attention to detail more than Bill Belichik. If he became the 49ers DC I could easily see them winning a ring. This is a quote from an ESPN article detailing Malcom Butlers Super Bowl interception against the Seahawks. "If the Seahawks line up near the goal line with two wide receivers bunched together -- and according to Ernie Adams' research, they very well might -- it will be Brandon Browner's job to jam the holy hell out of the first receiver and the other corner's job to jump the second receiver's slant route. Who would the other corner be? Not even the Patriots are sure. Kyle Arrington, Patrick Chung and Butler split reps in practice, but when Butler tries to undercut the slant and is beaten for a touchdown in practice, Belichick gives him a short talk, planting the seed in his brain. If you see that formation, you have to just jump it."

interested by the 49ers choice to run man cvg down the stretch there. putting 54 on 87 was never going to work out for them

29:34 announcers really pissed me off with that rpo call lmao

[@deshardmyles86]

Im constantly saying that the 49ers need young good DBs. The Dbs dont do anything if pressure is not there on the QB

[@lineskogans25]

Their best young DB tore an ACL this year

[@michelquirion2566]

I don't get it that the 49ers didn't take a timeout on the last play. If only to to give a little bit of rest to their defense and maybe get them to recognized that the yo-yo play from last year could occur.
