Geniuses or crafty? The controversial play by McKinnon and the Kansas City Chiefs with which they won the Super Bowl

there is not a Super Bowl that he does not have a play that changes the course of the matches, and that almost defines the champion. As well as the reception of David Tyree with the help of his helmet in the final that the Giants beat the Patriots. Or Julian Edelman’s catch between three Atlanta defenders and inches from the ball hitting the ground in the 51st edition.

In the last NFL Finals, Jerick McKinnon gave a lifetime to the Chiefs with an intelligent play and that earned him so that the team could be crowned as the new monarchs of the league. After a game that remained fully closed, the window of victory was presented to the team that now enjoys the title.

In the final stretch of the match, the final score remained tied at 35 points. With just over two minutes on the clock, Pat Mahomes began his team’s leadership to break the tie. When fewer options were left for the team, Philadelphia gave away a defensive punishment that gave life to the Chiefs. Then Mahomes himself hit a long run into the Eagles field. From that moment on, the Chiefs started from the 10-yard line.

The new play to win the match went perfectly. McKinnon got behind the strong side of the offensive line and had to run to the opposite side. The center came out and everything went as it should. Even though the defensive line and linebackers were bypassed, Philadelphia’s perimeter could do little and left a huge gap through which McKinnon could have scored, however, the Kansas player slid in at the 2-yard line, never going out of bounds.

EIt was not represented that the chronometer continued its progress. If they had left or scored, the green squad had one minute and 40 seconds left to seek to reverse the score and it would have just been complicated for the Chiefs. Travis Kelceafter participating in the act, made a clear gesture that they had just done something extremely intelligent to win the match. Although many people did not like this play because they did not want to exchange the ball and allow the rival to have one more chance. But in love and football, anything goes.

After the clever play by the Kansas running back, the Eagles had to burn their final timeout to stop the clock. After that, the Chiefs decided to kneel twice to use up the few seconds remaining.

In the end, Andy Reid spent one more final timeout to send his kicker Harrison Butker to define the game with a 27-yard field goal. Butker got it and there he sentenced the game. Despite already leading and with a few seconds left on the scoreboard, the Chiefs had to punt and hope an accident didn’t happen.

Philadelphia tried to receive the ball and with only one opportunity they tried to launch a Hail Mary that remained a simple prayer because the ball could not reach the other side of the field. At that very moment, the Chiefs’ side emptied from the joy of getting one more trophy.
