The Kansas City Chiefs needed one final dagger to put away the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII, and Andy Reid knew exactly which play he had to call.
On the 49ers’ three-yard line, Reid decided to have Patrick Mahomes target veteran receiver Mecole Hardman on a flat route in the right side of the end zone. When Mahomes’ aim on the pass was true, Kansas City cemented its place as back-to-back Super Bowl champions, and the NFL’s newest dynasty.
Reid broke down the play he and his players nicknamed “Tom and Jerry Right” after the game. Take a look at his explanation behind his call below:
