JT really does a great job. You get a better appreciation for the play between Kelsey & Mahomes with his insight. Also watching the all 22 you see WHO didn't go full out & costed the Ravens Defense - 24 Clowney all the talent but seemed a step slow , now I see it was lack of 100% hustle. You see the Chiefs finish plays. Their O Line plays nastier then just about any I've seen - the 2 Guards / Center are studs !

[@csb78nm]

[@timperley69]

[@b1foschiefs]

The remark about aggressiveness was spot on, it was probably the them of the game for me. Baltimore came in trying to make a statement while the Chiefs were trying to win a football game. Ironically, the bully got bullied.

[@88wildcat]

This whole game could be summed up as teams that are there every year show you why they are there every year and teams that are not there every year show you why they are not there every year. You could say the same thing about the 49ers-Lions game as well.

[@drew.168]

32 looks completely lost on that last play. He sees chiefs flying around and ends up guarding no one because he can't make a decision. Great concept, great pass, great catch to ice the game.

[@sginrummy88]

looks like he was gonna double 87, but didnt have a plan B when 87 didnt run out

[@spiderwebb222]

He's just in a robber type zone, they were willing to risk the chance of a deep shot to Valdes-Scantling in favour of giving inside help vs Kelce & Rice. Just so happened that Mahomes had the balls/awareness to throw it deep & Valdes-Scantling made the catch this time. Kind of surprised they decided to press the receivers with that look though, if they were off a bit more they might have had a chance

[@bradasskg11]

It’s because they had a double on Kelce, and he stays in to chip before releasing on a check down/ leak out It completely negates the double team and takes an extra defender out of the play for free. It was an absolutely perfect playcall to win the game

[@MaRkYWaHoO]

Raiders fans are buggin! Watching the 49ers and Chiefs battle it out in their house for the Lombardi 😳 Go Chiefs!

[@hh-jy1ld]

As a Raiders fan… I wan’t Mahomes to win the SB… then 5 more just so that he can top Brady. Tuck Rule. Never forget. How twisted is that 😂

[@billquantrill4960]

Just make sure Arrowhead West is clean when we arrive, clowns. Lol.

[@RinTV2]

Re: that sack play, I remember a video with his trainer and they were actually training his body to withstand that type of hit in order to help Mahomes avoid any more ankle injuries.

[@csr2120]

14:00 That's probably the play that shook the Ravens and not talking about the defense but the Raven's OC.

[@marcushopkins8558]

After this play I knew we were doomed. Nothing worked for us on defense the first half.

[@user-ki9um4ju9d]

That play is completely insane from BOTH Mahomes and Kelce.

[@faveology]

The sack at 32:20 is actually RTP that wasn't called btw. You aren't allowed to purposely hit below the knees of a QB that has their feet on the ground the way Mahomes does. It's the 'Brady rule' from when he tore his ACL (even though in that game, the defender was blocked into Brady). Mahomes and Co. did a great job maintaining composure despite the Ravens making cheapshots all game (5 personal fouls is more than enough evidence to support the claim they were playing dirty)

[@robcanisto8635]

I'll never get tired of Brady throat goats saying "hE chaNgeD tHe gAme," but without any irony or realizing that, yes- the way the NFL is officiated and ruled WAS changed to protect the great white hope and elongate his career lol

[@KCocteau15]

Watching this analysis really helps you appreciate how good schemes work against solid defensive play when executed. And to pull off the improvisations that Mahomes and Kelce do? Pure talent.

I just wanted to see his craft in depth before we faced him again. Much respect to the Chiefs, and GO NINERS!!!!!!

[@nachobroryan8824]

38:01 I read on the Athletic that the Chiefs called this play because the Ravens had been playing Cover 0 with the safety double all day.

[@jeffsherwood5259]

Great breakdown as always. @8:39. How about a shout out to rookie Rashee Rice, streaking across the field then finding a hat to plaster to help spring Kelce to get the 1st. That kid got the right heart and head for this team.

[@yankees29]

Rice is really good

[@pamelaherring3998]

My first video, what a top choice I'll look forward to the next one. It made me want to hear more about how the QB thinks and moves.

[@joem7435]

Thank you

[@Spanglish-KC]

Always a good show 👍

[@canyonroots]

Your multi color lines really help my ADHD brain.

[@devinshelly]

At 28:28 you can see multiple linemen working to the second level, so it seems unlikely that Kelce ever had an option to throw it on this play and the pump fake was pure improv

[@faveology]

The play at 20:08, that's probably just a very conservative playcall by Reid anyways, right? The Ravens are playing the sticks. Maybe the thought process is 'if they mess up, we got a potential TD or a first down' assuming Kelce runs the correct route. Kelce improvising there, funny enough, was a blessing and a curse. Blessing cause you get a 4th and 1 to go for it. Curse because now your coach wanted to go for it, and it didn't work out lol

[@addster124]

On that scramble pass to kelce against inverted cover 2, he had a hole shot open had he quickly recognized the post snap safety rotation. He didnt need to scramble around on that play.

[@spiderwebb222]

Watch it again and watch the safety rotating out of the right side. The only reason the hole shot pops open is because that safety reads Mahomes eyes to the left and sprints out of there. Sure if he somehow got his eyes back around to the right he could throw it (or the flat), but he's running for his life at that point. Nobody has that kind of vision when scrambling.

[@ronskullie9380]

That first pass was a crazy pass it was really deceptive how he threw that ball,he actually hid the ball fr the defensive players like a receiver doesn't show his hands until the ball is there,and he it was a no look pass too.

[@nickscherrer1735]

Randy moss-like

[@spiderwebb222]

You're overthinking it here, that's just the standard way QBs run with the ball when they're on a designed rollout like this (allows them the fastest possible release when throwing on the run). Still a great throw back across his body which is the unusual part.

[@ronskullie9380]

@@spiderwebb222 your wrong never seen a QB do that.

[@GoldenpaydirtReviews]

Omg we get it bro. Ur in Missouri. Congratulations. Just say Kansas City. Thats why don't like u Missourians

[@kippcozad8479]

On that last play to MVS, watch that play from camera facing Mahomes. He is looking at Watson the entire way and at the last moment turns to MVS and throws at the same time. I am not sure if he is looking off but I am guessing he really wanted the ball to go to Watson. If you have that angle, check it out and let me know your thoughts.

[@vinyllpreviews9462]

Touchdown vs. the Titans 2019 when he did the jump pass to Hardman. It was his first game back from his knee injury. I think it is his best ever.

[@TheUselessJ]

Do you think the 3rd and 4 at 9:37 might be as intended and the simply tried to creat more space for Rice with the other routes?

[@calenono1512]

On the sack it seems anyone else gets hurt, Mahomes regains balance with the hand the ball is in, is he down at that point? It looks like he uses his knuckles so I’m not sure the ball even touches the ground. Just curious about that rule if anyone knows?

[@jesusm2159]

Saludos

[@garrenmiller9434]

The calm and controlled throws that Mahomes pulls off in high-pressure situations are what make him so fun to watch. No play is ever over until he's lying on the ground.

[@fatesgates8393]

Excellent breakdown. I like how you emphasized that Mahomes threw the ball as soon as his back foot touched down. I hope you can breakdown how horrible a QB Justin Fields is so our Bears can move in a different direction at QB.

[@yankees29]

That’s been done several times this year….

[@TBCavalcanti]

20:30 isn't 25 job to stay in front of 14 coming hot? Or his original job is to double 0? Another thing is that he should be that option behind 0 as well right? After the doubling?

[@spowbusiness2187]

Ravens played to much zone in the 1st half and Mahomes was slicing the defense up, 2nd half the Ravens gameplan was bettet with more man coverage but amazing job from Mahomes, can you also make a analysis on the bad offensive strategy by the Ravens?

@@benjaminroe311ify It will not be high scoring. The Chiefs have only given up more than 14 points in a single half once all season. Their last 10 games they have averaged 4.00 points allowed in the 2nd half of the game. That defense really is incredible, I don't think people realize how incredible it is until they watch it. It'll be back in an indoor stadium in sunny Las Vegas, so I would imagine another 28-24 type of game. Not high scoring, but probably not quite the slug fest, especially with each OC having two entire weeks to draw up a game plan and work on timing.

I’m expecting that the 49ers will try to take away 87 and 4 so others have been stepping up in the last 5 games. Patrick Mahomes is the best QB in the NFL because his skill set is unlike any QB in the history of the NFL. He makes throws that no other QB can make or would even attempt to complete. All of the plays that were ran offensively were executed really well, granted Patrick got beat a couple of times.
