Was it defensive holding or was it not? Should a flag have been thrown? That’s what everyone is asking this Monday after the Kansas City Chiefs took advantage of the extended Super Bowl halftime to get Patrick Mahomes healthy to continue playing and find a flaw in the Eagles defense.
As a result the Chiefs won their second Super Bowl in the last four years after appearing in their third in that time. Congratulations are in order for former Notre Dame great and 1988 national champion Andy Heck as well. Heck is the Chiefs’ offensive line coach, a position he has held since 2013.
Heck clearly had a big halftime as the entire game changed and the Chiefs were able to move ball far more effectively after the break. Part of that was Mahomes getting nursed back to health, but another part was in handling the Eagles incredible pressure.
This is the second Super Bowl Heck has won as an offensive line coach, the first coming in the 2019 season with the Chiefs. Heck starred for the Irish as a member of the ’88 champions before becoming a first-round pick of the Seahawks and ultimately playing 12 seasons in the NFL.
Below are a few of the best photos of Andy Heck through the years:
