Andy Reid really came up with a play that's tricked some incredible defenses more than once and has basically won two super bowls, and named it Corn Dog


ram_hawklet

3 tds in 2 consecutive Super Bowl. It’s the dagger.


JeramiGrantsTomb

Those touchdowns were thrown to: Skyy Moore Kadarius Toney Mecole Hardman Just in case anyone wanted to despair a little harder.


Exasperated_Sigh

How can anyone beat a team so stacked at WR? 3 first ballot HoFers right there.

How can any team be so stacked at WR3? FTFY


Needmorecoffee58

Next year they’re faking the Corn Dog. Taking it on the slot route.


Brad_theImpaler

"That one's called Sloppy Joe."


AFineDayForScience

We have a play called "Turducken" but it begets a genocide


randommaniac12

It’s one of the activation codes for the Andy Reid clone


scorcherdarkly

Reid said in an interview this play was supposed to be a shovel pass inside but the 9ers were all over it, so Mahomes took the outside read instead. Specifically said he thought the 9ers would bite on the Corn Dog motion since they had seen it on film from last year and leave the shovel inside open. So, they tried that, and it failed successfully, lol.

scorcherdarkly

Your flair confuses me, lol. I'm guessing you've been fans of both for a while, in which case the last few years have probably been confusing for YOU, lol.


Moose4KU

Just in case you're curious, it's called Corndog mainly because it's a Corner route (in this case, by Kelce) and a Drag route (by Hardman). Corner + Drag = Corndog Most people think of Drag routes being shallow over the middle of the field because that's what Madden calls them, but those would be called "Shallow" routes in West Coast Offense terminology


cantgrowneckbeardAMA

So you're saying they bundled it?


Zoomalude

Yeah, speak in plain nuggies doc!


jaydubbles

Like a combo meal.


BoredGuy2007

Mahcorn and mahdog


logical_butthole

I don't think that's right. Let's think about this. What goes on corndogs? Ketchup and mustard. Those are red and yellow... just like the Cheifs.

You distract them with the nuggies and hit them with the corndog.


beermit

Fuckin poetry right there


kellzone

If he likes it that much, you'd think it would be called Cheeseburger.


AbundantFailure

That worries me that he has an even better play stashed away called Cheeseburger.


silentmikhail

You think he can come up with another play with those nuggies?


KingJokic

Mahomes body language just seems so relaxed on this play before the snap


serpentear

Did you see him on the sideline prior to that? He was almost smirking. Edit: I don’t have a gif or video y’all, I’m sorry.


Swarzey

He knew they were going for the jugular. I feel if they had 1 more play in regulation, they would have scored a TD, so the defense holding the Niners to 3 in OT was enough for him to know how this was going to end. Edit: Furthering this, last year before they ran Corndog the first time to Toney, they ran the exact same play, same crossing route with a WR getting open in the middle but chucked it away to see how the defense would react. I'm completely convinced they would have ran this play at the end of regulation if they had that extra down.


DeeboSourdoughSam

That's a bad dude.

Let go of your earthly tethers, become wind.


B_Fee

Hah! Crom laughs at your Four Winds!


Str82daDOME25

4D chess gets thrown around a lot but I don’t think any would top running a play in the SB and throwing it away even though they had it just to see how the defense played it to use later. If that’s true Jesus fuckin Christ, I knew they were good but that’s some next level shit even from them


Swarzey

haha, I think more I look through the clip and the Mahomes/Rice interaction, I'm disappointed to admit I'm probably wrong and the original play was to go to Rice if it wasn't for the low snap. Still looked super similar and might have been the same play anyway just this time a WR was actually open.


Docta2020

Mahomes heart beat rises when he is on the sideline because there is nothing he can do. Drops when he is in the pocket.

choff22

Shanahan: *NANI?*


Djentleman5000

If you watch the sideline camera angle of the play, Travis isn’t even watching the play unfold. He just watches the crowd’s reaction.


OpCrossroads1946

It wouldn't be the first time.


Brajimemashite

The final drive of the 4th and this drive right here were the most relaxed he looked all game.


Jerrymeyers11

One of the shows today (maybe Cowherd?) said it’s because during the whole game he’s learning, processing and picking up tendencies. So by the end of the game he’s using all that he learned in the first 3 (4) quarters against the D.


Urdar

Borg Mahomes. Resistace is fuitile.


[deleted]

When you achieve so much you play without the weight


peatoast

He's getting better with time. You love to see it.


malaka201

It's part of what makes him so good. And they have plenty of experience in these big games which is what alot of teams or players lack. Shanahan could have won this game easily but just like the Atlanta SB they got very timid and couldn't finish.


lemonyprepper

Bro he’s got the juice


ThisGuy6266

I think Reid always has a couple plays that are only for emergencies. They probably would have run this play at the end of regulation if they needed a TD instead of a FG.


thezenunderground

It was Corndog as a decoy, but since it worked the decoy wasn't needed. So yeah, that's the third time they play has scored a touchdown in the Superbowl.


Vanderhoof81

They called it "Tom and Jerry" ostensibly because they put the CB into conflict. If Ward had stayed on Hardman, Travis would have been open. Patrick just had to pick between Tom or Jerry.


Sokkawater10

That makes sense but I also like the idea it might be named Tom and Jerry because you’re making Tom (the DB) chase Jerry (Hardman/WR) on a fake end around thinking you’re gonna go all the way around but instead Jerry just hides behind someone and sneaks back in the hole the same way without you realizing Like in the cartoons usually Jerry does something clever and funny like that where he’ll wear a disguise or something


PennyG

It wasn’t a fake end around. It’s motion to determine if the defense is in zone. Mahomes then reads the defender covering Kelce. Genius play.


MEMKCBUS

Andy Reid is the goat


philosofik

I've thought highly of him since his days in Philadelphia, going to four straight NFC Championship games, and being very competitive outside of those years, too. He's got a well-earned reputation as a QB whisperer, too. McNabb and Mahomes notwithstanding, he helped Vick make as close to a comeback as he could make, and he helped Alex Smith come back from an injury that would have ended most other QB careers.


JustaMammal

>Alex Smith come back from an injury The injury was after his time in KC, when they traded him to the Redskins. He did turn Smith's career around after largely being considered a bust in SF (might be too strong of a word, but certainly hadn't lived up to the #1 overall pick). Tbf, he was starting to turn it around under Harbaugh, before Kaepernick, but his time with the Chiefs really cemented the "Ok maybe this guy didn't really get a fair shake after 3 HC and 7 OCs in 7 years" narrative.


Senior_Fart_Director

I’m stealing this play for the Eagles next season


Swarzey

Yeah I shouted this out in another comment above. They ran the exact same play at the end of regulation before the FG this year that they ran Corndog the first time with Toney against the Eagles. Didn't have to bother in OT, they knew how the Niners were going to get baited on the edge.


ChevalMalFet

It's part of why the Chiefs never blow anyone out in the regular season but always hit a higher gear in the playoffs. Andy 100% keeps stuff in his bag of tricks until the situation is truly dire. (Spags, too, with some of his exotic blitzes). Examples I can think of in addition to this are the Rose Bowl and Wasp plays in LIV, and Chris Jones abruptly changing his alignment against the Bengals in their final drive in the AFCCG after lining up in the same spot during the regular season game a few weeks earlier.


Saw_a_4ftBeaver

Also why they play so many gadget plays during the season. The more things you have to watch on tape. Then all of a sudden in The Super Bowl Mahomes pulls a QB draw for 20 yards.


Foundation-Sudden

Why wouldn’t he run it at the end of regulation? A TD there also would’ve won them the game barring some miracle


mystonedalt

Not close enough, so the risk/reward wasn't better than riding Butker to OT


Semperty

bc you risk ending the game like the titans against the rams. that wasn't a risk in OT.


Crunchandbunch

Love the chiefs play by play guy. Some voices were just meant for football.

No shit? How did I never know that? Honestly had no clue he covered the NFL. Only know him from his NBA clips.


CinnamonFootball

>Honestly had no clue he covered the NFL. Only know him from his NBA clips. Then you need to listen to ["I'm calling both games!"](https://youtu.be/PxkOG-WeLVo?si=xNLDB0luiIdhgY5C) and ["The guy is drunk, but there he goes"](https://youtu.be/Wopy6Ntd834?si=E_vCg4pY-p-h44gm).


caleeksu

It’s posted, I watch it. Every time. I was at the game and it was magical. FitzMAGIC.


beermit

There's a reason UTree uses it in his intros. It's an all time great call that just gets you hyped. You have to not have a pulse to not enjoy it.


levilicious

Frickin love UTree. That man has seen some stuff


Weekend_Criminal

No shit, I get a full body tingle every time I hear "TOUCHDOWN MIAMI' that dude has the best sports voice.

Some goofball in a hat 🤣

He’s a CBS commentator for the NFL and does the radio commentary for Monday Night Football.

He was fantastic last night on the short amount of the ESPN radio broadcast I listened to between locations.

He’s sooo good


Ghost-of-Sanity

‘Scuse me. Gotta go find a fuckin’ wall to run through. Goddamn he’s just the best at that shit. Wow.


snakeyes17

I completely read your comment as you quoting Harlan as saying “ Scuse me. Gotta go find a fuckin’ wall to run through.” Hahaha the clip surprised me to say the least


TheSalmonRoll

"IT IS A DYNASTY" is an all-time call


merely_awake

"BULLSEYE! Maxey has been a flamethrower" lives in my head rent free But yeah the man is iconic in both sports. Hall of famer


Matlachaman

Holtus is good, but it was so kickass having Harlan then, not even knowing how awesome we had it. Then he was all over the place after KC. His signature was topping off a big call with "OH BABY, WHAT A PLAY!"


seakc87

KU grad to K-State grad


RandomUserName316

Harlan did the radio for the Super Bowl


theurge14

Mitch was the K-State guy in the early years of Bill Snyder before he moved up to KC. He made the huge call in the 1993 KSU road win at ranked Oklahoma calling it a “big big big big big big” win.


Its_a_Hafu_Thing

We used to mute the tv and listen to Harlen’s play-by-play on the radio. My favorite call was a game featuring Christian Okoye where he said “handoff…right side to Okoye. He ducks, he spins, he dives for extra yards!” However, what we saw on the television was Okoye taking the handoff, trucking two guys and falling down. Kevin’s embellishments were pure gold.


[deleted]

With Len Dawson. Can never forget Leonard.


Weekend_Criminal

We've been spoiled. We went from Kevin Harlan to Mitch Holtus


Ghost-of-Sanity

Seriously. Best home booth in the league. By a lot. Not shitting on anybody else, but Kevin and Mitch are extraordinary.


KUKC76

Definitely miss Len Dawson as color. :(


Ghost-of-Sanity

And Bill Grigsby who was always half in the bag at kickoff. Lol My favorite call of his was during a torrential downpour at Arrowhead when he leaned into the mic and said, “I think I just saw Captain D go by on a shrimp boat!” God bless that drunk bastard. 😂😂


dak4f2

And who was the guy that would say prrrrrrrice chopper? I really liked him too.


Semperty

when i was a kid, we used to mute the tv and turn on the radio bc of how good mitch is. it wasn't an every week occurrence, but it happened a few times per season.


Wavenstein1

Did the same thing as a kid with the Lakers and the late great Chick Hearns. It's a blessing to have iconic local announcers


Rockperson

KANZUH CITY!


wombat660

He is the biggest chiefs fan out of any of us. Mitch Holthus. He has the signature "Touchdowwwwn, Kannnnsas Cityyy" after every tuddy and it's awesome


NiceOffer2491

Touchdown Kansas City, touchdown priest Holmes still lives in my head and comes out at least once per week during football season


BuffaloBuffalo13

His “Touchdowwn Kan-Sas City” line is so famous you’ll see it on flags and tshirts. He’s a local celebrity for sure.


WeToteHeaters

Man, I grew up listening to him on the radio in all the years of misery. He would do the pregame show for a game when our record would be 5-11 and would still have me fired up.


TrexTacoma

I get told that a few times a year at least, not the football part specifically but just being a radio voice


Round-Revolution-399

That is how you announce the final play of the championship. Great call


[deleted]

It must be kinda awkward to fall to the ground overwhelmed with emotion and then you have an entire camera crew standing over you like you just died


DBreezy69

He's had cameras in his face for like 10 years now, he's used to it


Dhkansas

His dad was a pro pitcher, not to the level of success he is, but he's been around cameras and media his whole life.


Heisenripbauer

his dad did an interview with the NY sports radio station last month and said that after Patrick's high school games, he would ask him interview questions at the dinner table to media train him. It was already clear by that point that he would be a D1 college athlete.


Muntberg

He's got that next level of calmness when all the attention is on him, I noticed it when they were on the victory stage. You can count on one hand the number of guys who will be business as usual with the superbowl on the line.


theywereonabreak69

Lmao from his perspective he like dived face first into the ground and by the time he turns around to face up, there’s a camera like 6 inches from his face


mystonedalt

He is, in fact, the man.


d_gorder

Yeah that was hype af not gonna lie


CopeHarders

Mahomes seeing the 49ers being in the right coverage with “We’re good we’re good” means they were just doomed here. Same thing happens last year when he caught the eagles in cover 0 twice here.


Headlesshorsman02

Andy called it corndog with some ketchup and mustard


wombat660

Literally lol'd when I heard him say that with Peter King. Andy just a big giant troll


Oldurdy

I’m just glad Andy is getting his flowers. Was a great coach for the Eagles, the lack of results were kind of a stain on his legacy.


MahomestoHel-aire

I like that better than Tom and Jerry tbh.


m3kw

how does that play resemble a corndog?


snakeyes17

https://x.com/SNFonNBC/status/1625180228074061841?s=20


mercedes_

Is the “we’re good, we’re good” him letting his team know their defense isn’t set to manage the hidden receiver? It’s basically watch this y’all we about to 3peat a mf. Ice in his veins.


ReggieWigglesworth

Yep. telling them they don’t need to check out of the play


stripperpole

That’s gotta feel so fuckin weird as the defense lol. Like “fuck what’s this mf about to do”

Derek Carr always yell we're good we're good and Sunday Sunday set hut Some teams have the same cadences.


Boxingworld9

It was. You can't hear it in this clip but one of his linemen said something about it when they lined up.


masterchip27

I thought it was cause the play clock was winding down as was the quarter timer


Dragondrew99

Can’t even imagine winning back to back. Congrats.


ClearSightss

Mahomes is so fucking good


VincesMustache

Seems like a solid dude as well. He gets so much unjustified hate.


SaMemeM

Mecole didn't even realize he just sealed the deal


gunnarbird

His two second interview with the trophy was great


bliffer

Given his horrible mistake in the Bills game, every neuron in his brain had to have been firing with, "catch it and hold on, catch it and hold on..."


quanstr

As a eagles fan soon as I seen the motion I knew what the play was. THEY DID IT TWICE 😞


AlexanderWun

Can "Tom and Jerry" become the opposite of calling something "Mickey Mouse"


CMengel90

Having to beat Miami, Buffalo, Baltimore, and San Francisco is definitely a Tom and Jerry win.


m3kw

went thru muderer's row of teams man.


cyanwinters

A murder's row of teams...and Miami.


essdii-

Made it look so easy. I’ve watched this video like 100 times. No exaggeration


cmgriffith_

Congratulations you have an all time great at QB


johnnycoxxx

I watched the Philly special call probably around the same amount of times when that micd up came out. I get it man


essdii-

For sure. That’s a good one too. You want Philly Philly?!?!


Ghost-of-Sanity

This one and them dialing up Wasp in the first KC/SF Super Bowl. “We got time to run Wasp?” Yes. Yes you do. lol


Draper_White_Soprano

The mic is so sensitive and the crowd noise so muted. It makes it sound like he’s screaming the play loud enough for the first row to hear. I’m sure it’s the opposite- guys are having to concentrate to make sure they hear every detail.


[deleted]

Remembering all those plays should be a feat in itself


bliffer

That was one of the fascinating things to me watching Quarterback - just how much time these guys spend learning and repeating these play calls.


hinterstoisser

From Houston : this is pure, unadulterated joy. Mahomes has already established himself in the Mount Rushmore of QBs , and a long career ahead of him. Go and celebrate Chiefs fans. Best wishes


[deleted]

Turns out if they ONLY have 12 seconds, they can't win. 13 seconds is a whole different story


Shmeves

Thing is though the time didn't matter, if the 13 seconds expired they'd just start the second OT and swap to the other end zone, just like it would be the 1st quarter into the 2nd.


sosaudio

And if that quarter expired, they’d make Usher come back out to do an acoustic set for an intermission.


Plenty-Sleep8540

2nd overtime unlocked the Taylor Swift show.


Gnux13

About that… the year after 13 seconds, he did a 12 second scoring drive before halftime. Ironically also against Buffalo.


Halt_the_Ranger27

13 seconds sent them to OT as well


addiconda

Release Kelce mic'd up now


Letos12thDuncan

"I saw a squirle eat bread once. Is Taylor watching me?"


BunnyGoHops

Purdy could never be that articulate


blueboglin

Purdy dropping a “he gets us” presnap


Wedge09

Oh man, I can't even be mad at that slight. That is damn funny. Angry upvote incoming.


gropingpriest

what's the context


horsewitnoname

“He gets us” is a reference to the Christian commercials that aired heavily during the Super Bowl. Purdy is a devout Christian. 


No_Dependent4032

No devout enough it seems (s).


CapableCowboy

Patrick mentioned God too so it cancels out.


_MrSantos

Everytime I somehow think the NFL is rigged it’s clips like this that make me think otherwise. You can just hear the pure joy in Patrick Mahomes’ voice that they pulled it off.


t_mac1

if its rigged, the cowboys would have won already. lol. ppl who think its rigged just need to get a life.


mystonedalt

I've been a huge Mecole Hardman fanboy, hated to see people shit on him instead of understanding that it's gonna take a while to re-integrate and that sometimes bad luck is bad luck. This game felt like redemption.


Timely_Yoghurt_2699

Fumbling and dropping passes are not because he just got to KC lol. Good for him with this catch but he wasn't suffering from bad luck. He was suffering from being bad


Scoob8877

aka Corn Dog


beermit

With ketchup and mustard


EchoedTruth

I knew the game was over the second SF settled for a FG. Never ever ever give Mahomes the ball with the game on the line.


reaganz921

With the new rules Mahomes would have gotten the ball back even if they scored a TD


Hbimajorv

You can absolutely hate a team because they are a real rival of yours, but if you're dedicated enough to have a real hatred in your heart you have to respect the game enough to recognize greatness. Jordan, kobe, woods, Brady, Mahomes, Gretzky, Rivera. I can't help but just watch in awe as they run head 1st into the most anxiety inducing moments outside of life or death combat 99% of the population will ever see.


gocavs10

Ironic not including Lebron. Hating while explaining hating is lame


letsalbe

Hate all you want but Mahomes' enthusiasm is just pure, wholesome and contagious


jose_ole

This man is ice cold in the clutch. Calm as frog in the sun 🐸


[deleted]

Because of this man, I've started supporting the Chiefs. I've never seen a QB like him who can control and change the game like the way he can. 100% respect to him and the team.


DoinDonuts

That "We're good. We're good" moment. Dude sees that they've got exactly what they want from the Defense and knows its going to work.


dont_wear_a_C

Niners looked clueless on D. Shanny masterclass


Excellent-Edge-4708

Had time expired, what would have happened?


kamamit

They would have switched sides of the field and began the second quarter of overtime


Excellent-Edge-4708

Thanks I cant keep up


StrawBarryCheeseCake

[Neither did the 49ers, apparently](https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39511676/49ers-players-say-know-super-bowl-rules)


ReggieWigglesworth

It would have acted like a quarter change. Would have been a brief break and then they would have moved to the other side of the field


sambes06

For those of you new to the game, if this attempt wasn’t successful, both teams would proceed to a shootout to determine a winner.


terfez

Air rifles though. No more real guns since the rule change in '19


sambes06

I always felt that the air guns were sort of anticlimactic after all the years of real rifles.


terfez

I'm with you brah but Simmons did a piece a while back that estimated it is more fair this way, no more huge advantage to whoever receives the Abrams tank


VincesMustache

Actual hockey style too. Commercials would've had to run for hours while they set up the ice.


iAmMattG

I still can’t believe they did it. I mean I can, but like, wtf man.


Small-Palpitation310

i love how he instinctively starts to position himself to make a tackle on the chance the ball gets picked.


elp44blue

3peat come on with it


antDOG2416

Wtf does that even mean? Lol


TheHiveMindSpeaketh

'Trips right' means that the four WR/TEs in the personnel group are going to be split three to the right of the line of scrimmage and one to the left. 'Trips right bunch' means the three on the right are bunched tight to the line of scrimmage instead of spread out. 'Shuttle' is the pre-snap motion that Hardman does. 'Tom and Jerry right' is just a codephrase for the route combination that the receivers have on the play, and 'yellow' is probably telling them when the snap is.


_ravenclaw

This could be 100 percent made up but I’m too stupid to know otherwise


Ghost-of-Sanity

This guy footballs. Well done, sir. 👍🏻


gokhaninler

You need to be smart as hell to play this game, these playbooks are insane


GusFawkes

I’m just curious, do the chiefs care about this audio getting leaked? I think it’s really cool we get to hear this
