[@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.

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!!!!

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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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]

Yeah, that was seriously impressive.

[@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.

[@KlvnDxxminique]

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@dominicharris5489]

That long throw to hardman was absurdly well placed.

[@jocosailor7092]

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

[@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... 🤡

[@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.

[@fritzco55]

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

[@zonazonabutthesecondzonais7051]

JT I can honestly say I’ve never been more excited for a video of yours!

[@thegoodyearlimp6643]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@bradmoberly6164]

I love how when you break it down . That on the scoreboard that the chefs were down everytime.

[@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.

[@rocksvelte5760]

This is amazing content. As someone who ever really casually watched football, this kind of explanation gives you an extra appreciation for the game.

[@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.

[@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.

[@poundtrader1414]

[@trevormcclaughry7883]

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

[@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.

[@spoonsz]

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

[@jsommeljay100]

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

[@SpaceMarineAna]

The Swift lyric you are searching for at 27:38 - "Are You Ready For It?" :)

[@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.

[@Zach-lc6bs]

cant get over the execution on that late mesh from both tight ends

[@PhilAndersonOutside]

Watching this cements to me how badly the 49ers missed Hufanga, but also once Greenlaw got hurt how there was enough of a shift, especially in the red zone.

[@The_AdventurousRealtor]

A combo of great coaching and the best QB in the game makes it almost impossible to stop. Fun to watch, especially for a Bears fan. LOL

25:12 I have watched so many breakdowns of this drive, and you are the first one who has actually noticed Mahomes audibiling to that play. I noticed it live, and in the Chiefs series "The Franchise" Mahomes talks about how he checked to the play and says it was the first time they ran that play since training camp, another interesting tidbit about that drive

[@kimwarfield1587]

Another masterful break down.

[@mikearounnothai]

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.

[@NathanRhwmf]

after the game on my drive home you came to mind. couldn’t wait to get off work

[@Hawaii96720]

Now I understand why Lamar chose to have Mahomes Accuracy when it came to building the perfect QB.

[@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.

[@jared1750]

[@slamin2095]

[@erichaynes7502]

Just think in 5 calendar years Mahomes has led KC to 6 AFC Title Games. In 4 calendar years Mahomes has led the Chiefs to 4 Superbowls, winning 3 of them. Mahomes is quickly becoming one of the All Time greats!

[@dillchives]

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.

[@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.

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.

[@danielburt7849]

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

[@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.

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.

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.

[@dfp_01]

Patrick Mahomes is now 4-0 in his career (regular season and playoffs) against the 49ers. The only opponent outside the AFC West he has beaten more is the Jaguars (5-0). But the 49ers are a sort of gatekeeper: he has beaten them en route to both of his regular-season MVP awards (2018, 2022) and all three of his Super Bowl MVP awards (2019, 2022, 2023). Sorry Kyle, when you're in the way, best back up and let greatness by.

[@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.

[@dylanpugliese9284]

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
