LITTLE TOO SOFT IN THE WEEK 13
GAME AND GAVE THE CHECK-DOWNS AND THEY'RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT
TODAY. JIM: ON SECOND AND 7, THEY TRY
TO BRING SOME PRESSURE AND HAS A WIDE OPEN TARGET AND FOR THE
SECOND STRAIGHT SNAP, IT ENDS UP A PASS PLAY INTO THE HANDS OF
JA'MARR CHASE. THIS ONE GOES FOR 10.
STEVE SPAGNUOLO'S DEFENSE, WHAT SHOWING UP BIG TIME RIGHT NOW.
BURROW IS YELLING IN THE HUDDLE. JIM: THEY'RE AFTER HIM.
THEY GOT HIM. THAT'S CLARK WHO FINISHES IT
OFF. DANNA GOT TO HIM FIRST.
TONY: THIS IS HOW KANSAS CITY YOU HAVE TO GET THE BALL TO THE
RUNNING BACKS IN THIS GAME. JIM: SECOND AND 9 THEY THAT I
CAN IT TO PACHECO. -- THEY THAT I CAN IT TO PAC
PACHECO. AND PICKED UP THE FIRST DOWN.
WILSON UNABLE TO SHOVE THEM OUT OF BOUNDS.
AND A GAIN OF 16. OF CINCINNATI.
ON THE RUN HE'S GOT KELCE AND KELCE A BIG GAIN AND ANOTHER
16-YARD PLAY BACK-TO-BACK. TONY: THIS IS THE GUY COMING
INTO -- AND GUESS WHAT? TO DIG IN IN THIRD AND 5.
SEE HOW MUCH MAHOMES CAN MOVE. HE'S GOT TIME JUST TO THROW IT
TO THE END ZONE. AND IS IT CAUGHT?
TONY -- TONY: STILL DECIDING.
THEY HAVEN'T DETERMINED IT YET. JIM: SAID INCOMPLETE.
TONY: INCOMPLETE. YOU'RE RIGHT.
OH, MY GOODNESS. THAT WAS A PERFECTLY THROWN
BALL. REFEREE: THE RULING ON THE FIELD
IS AN INCOMPLETE PASS. WHO WANTS TO DROP EIGHT, YOU GOT
TO CHECK THE BALL DOWN AND GET THE BALL OUT OF YOUR HANDS
QUICKLY AND DID THAT LAST WEEK IN THE SECOND HALF AND HERE
TODAY. JIM: SO BUTKER KNOCKS IT
THROUGH. CINCINNATI HAD NOT SURRENDERED A
SINGLE POINT IN THE FIRST OUTSIDE OF CHRIS JONES WE HAVE
THREE ROOKIES PLAYING AT CORNERBACK FOR THEM.
JIM: SECOND AND 8. MORE PRESSURE.
AND HE GETS TO HIM FOR A SECOND TIME!
WILLIE GAY WAS ABLE TO PINCH THE EDGE.
DUNLAP WAS IN THE AREA. FRANK CLARK AGAIN, AND THAT'S
THE SECOND TIME THEY'VE GOTTEN THE LAST TWO DROPBACKS.
HERE HE'S GOT THIRD AND 18. MAKE IT THREE CONSECUTIVE AND
THAT BELIEVE IT OR NOT FOR CHRIS JONES, THIS IS HIS FIRST CAREER
POSTSEASON SACK IN GAME 14. ONE OF THE BEST.
HE HAD 15.5 IN THE REGULAR JIM: SECOND AND 5.
THEY GOT A SCREEN SET UP FOR PACHECO.
HE'S GOT THE FIRST DOWN. AND HE'S GOT A BURST TO THE 45.
RUNNING BEHIND JOE THUNEY FOR 18 WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP.
FIRST AND 10 FROM THE 45. AND AWKWARD LIKE HE'S GOT THE
FIRST DOWN. TONY: AND THIS IS NOT A GOOD
SIGN FOR THE BENGALS. JIM: SECOND AND 11.
ALL KINDS OF TIME. AND IT'S LATERALED BY KELCE TO
MACKINNON WHO HAS TO FALL ON IT AT THE 22.
WHAT A SETUP PLAY THAT WAS. AND KELCE IS SAYING I COULD HAVE
BEEN A LITTLE BETTER THAN THAT BRIAN KELLY, NOW THE L.S.U.
COACH, CONVERTED HIM TO A TIGHT END.
HERE'S A FIRST AND 10. AGAIN, TIME FOR MAHOMES.
HE'S GOT MCKINNON DANCING AROUND THE 10.
AND IT WILL BE FIRST AND GOAL TO GOAL FROM ABOUT THE 8.
TONY: THIS IS JUST -- I CAN'T JIM: SEAL THE POCKET, ALL KINDS
OF TIME FOR A WHILE MAHOMES HAD IT.
AND THERE'S KELCE. THREATENING TO LATERAL AGAIN TO
GRAY. BUT HE HOLDS ON TO IT.
DOWN TO ABOUT THE 6. I THOUGHT HE WOULD GO IT AGAIN,
TONE. NOW YOU'RE GOING TO BRING BACK
OUT BUTKER HERE. JIM: A SECOND FIELD GOAL.
OK. AND YOU GOT A GREAT PLAN.
JIM: JUST HOW THEY BEGAN THE GAME WITH A QUICK TOSS TO CHASE.
AND HE'S GOT ABOUT EIGHT. THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE, BACK OUT,
COME UP AND GO. JIM: THEY FAKE IT TO PERINE.
AND THEY SET UP SCREEN. OVER TO WILCOX.
AND HE'S UP AHEAD FOR ABOUT 11. TONY: A FANTASTIC PLAY DESIGN
HERE. AND HE'S BEEN SACKED AN EQUAL
NUMBER OF TIMES. NOW HE'S GOT TIME TO THROW IT.
BUECHELE PASS -- BEAUTIFUL PASS. AND BOYD WITH HIS FIRST TARGET
AND CATCH FOR THE FIRST DOWN. TONY: THIS WAS A GREAT ROUTE OF
THE THIS IS WHY WHY -- WHY IT'S JIM: SECOND AND 10.
THEY RUSHED FOUR. BURROW.
ZIPS IT. DOWN THE MIDDLE.
AND TACKLED AT THE 15. IT'S BOYD FOR THE SECOND TIME ON
THIS DRIVE. AND THIS IS A 24-YARD GAIN.
TONY: WELL, HE'S PLAYING THE LITTLE TIGHTER.
12TH PLAY OF THE DRIVE. BURROW.
TO THE END ZONE, AND IN AND OUT OF THE HANDS.
RIGHT THROUGH THE HANDS, ACTUALLY, OF HURST.
WHO CAUGHT ONE FOR A SCORE LAST WEEK AGAINST BUFFALO.
TONY: THIS WAS A GREAT THROW. I MEAN, BURROW THROWS THINGS SO
EARLY. >> 30-YARD ATTEMPT FOR EVAN
MCPHERSON. AND CINCINNATI IS ON THE BOARD.
MCPHERSON KICKING IT THROUGH THE THE FIRST 15 AND YOU'RE
SCRIPTING EVERYTHING COMING INTO THIS GAME AND LIKE OK WORKS ARE
THESE TEAMS ON DEFENSE AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO ATTACK THEM IN A
DIFFERENT WAY. JIM: SECOND AND 5.
THE COMPLETION. OVER TO JUJU SMITH-SCHUSTER.
AND USED TO SEE CINCINNATI TWICE CHUCKING IT DOWN AND GETTING IT
OUT AND KEEPING THE GAME SIMPLE. JIM: SLIDES AWAY FROM THE
PRESSURE. OSSAI WAS COMING AFTER HIM.
AND HE GOES TO THE OTHER RECEIVER THEY PICKED UP IN THE
OFF-SEASON BY WAY OF FREE JACKSONVILLE LAST WEEK.
FIRST AND 10, NOW LOOKING LONG. DOWN THE FIELD IT GOES.
AND IT'S RIGHT BACK TO VALDES-SCANTLING AND A
COMPLETION! TONY: AND THAT'S ONE OF THEIR
TWO REALLY DEEP ROUTE GUYS THAT AND EVERY TIME HE STARTED THIS
YEAR HE'S PLAYING IN THE A.F.C. CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.
AND HE'S READY FOR THIS ONE. JIM: GOING TO GO UP TOP ON THIRD
AND 1. AND HE HAS TO RUN FOR IT.
AND YOU SAW THE GRAPHIC BY THE WAY, SHOCKINGLY, 31ST IN THE
LEAGUE ON THIRD THIRD AND 1 THIS EMOTION RIGHT HERE AND ALL OF A
SUDDEN GET A QUICK SNAP ROLL OUT TO THE SIDE AND THROW IT TO THE
FLAT. JIM: IS IT THERE?
END ZONE. CAUGHT!
TAVIS KELCE WITH THE TOUCHDOWN! ON FOURTH AND 1!
TONY: THIS IS ALL KELCE AND MAHOMES.
JUST UNSCRIPTED. WE TALKED ABOUT THE ABILITY NOT
GOING TO HAVE THE IMPROVISATION, JIM: BURROW UP TOP.
AND HE IS INTERCEPTED! BY WATSON!
WHO HAS AN INTERCEPTION FOR THE SECOND STRAIGHT WEEK.
IT WAS DUNLAP THE FORMER BENGAL HIS DEFENSE ISFORCED A COUPLE F
INCOMPLETIONS AND CAN THEY GET ONE MORE HERE?
MAHOMES. THAT PASS OVER THE HEAD OF
ROOKIE SKYY MOORE. NOW WHAT DO YOU DO?
LIKE A 57-YARD FIELD GOAL ATTEMPT IF YOU WENT THAT WAY.
TONY: I WANT YOU TO WATCH, JIM: FRANK CLARK STANDING UP
READY TO COME IN. FROM THE OTHER SIDE THEY GET
AFTER BURROW. HE HAS TO THROW IT ON THE RUN.
AND IT'S KNOBBED OUT OF THE HANDS AND INTERCEPT -- KNOCKED
OUT OF THE HANDS AND INTERCEPTED OFF THE DEFLECTION.
BUT A FLAG COMES IN AS THORNHILL ENDS UP WITH THE FOOTBALL.
IT WAS BRYAN COOK WHO HIT HURST. THERE EARLY.
REFEREE: PASS INTERFERENCE, DEFENSE, NUMBER SIX, SPOT OF THE
FOUL. AUTOMATIC FIRST DOWN.
JIM: AND IT'S A SPOT FOUL AND NOW CINCINNATI IS IN BUSINESS.
TONY: THIS IS A HUGE CALL AND AND PLAYS OUTSIDE-INSIDE.
JIM: HERE'S SECOND AND 9. AND BURROW, PRECISE TO CHASE.
AND YOU REMEMBER, INTERESTING LITTLE SEQUENCE.
HOW THINGS GOT REALLY CHANGING YEAR.
HE'S IMPROVED. JIM: THEY GO MIXON.
AND HE'S GOT THE FIRST. AND A COUPLE TO SPARE.
TONY: AND YOU SAW IT RIGHT THERE.
LAST WEEK, ALMOST OVERPOWERING [CAPTIONING PERFORMED BY THE
NATIONAL CAPTIONING INSTITUTE, WHICH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS
CAPTION CONTENT AND ACCURACY. VISIT NCICAP.ORG] JIM: HE'S GOT HIGGINS FOR
ANOTHER FIRST DOWN. WORKING ON JOSHUA WILLIAMS.
TWO CHASMS ON THIS DRIVE FOR THEY COULDN'T GET A SINGLE DIGIT
NUMBER AND WANTS IT NOW. TONY: 85 IS A GOOD ONE AND NEED
HIM AGAIN. JIM: HERE THEY GO DOWN TO THE 5.
THERE HE IS, TONY, AT THE 5-YARD LINE FOR THE FUTURE NUMBER FIVE.
TONY: YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT. AND GUESS WHAT, JIM?
WIDE SIDE OF THE FIELD. OF DRIVES.
FROM THE 5. HERE'S BURROW.
TO THE END ZONE. AND NOTHING THERE WITH FOUR
SECONDS TO GO. AND CHRIS JONES WAS ALL OVER
BURROW AT THE END OF THAT. AND THAT KICK IS GOOD.
TO CLOSE OUT THE HALF. LAST YEAR, KANSAS CITY LED 21
4-7B 10 AT THE INTER-- 21-10 AT THE INTERMISSION.
TONIGHT 13-OF CHIEFS. TONY: -- 13-6 CHIEFS.
TONY: THE BENGALS DIDN'T HAVE A JIM: THIRD AND 7.
AND MAHOMES GOING FOR THE DEEP BALL.
AND IT'S NOT THERE. DOUBLE COVERAGE SON
VALDES-SCANTLING. THEY BRING EXTRA PRESSURE AND
THE PASS TO HIGGINS. LOOKS LIKE MAYBE A YARD SHORT.
NINE YARDS. WATSON IS ON HIM.
AND RIGHT UP THE MIDDLE, BURROW. SLIDES TO THE 30.
AND A FIRST DOWN. STEPPED ON BRYAN COOK.
WHO BOUNCES AROUND ON ONE LEG. UP NOW, GYP.
ALL THE WAY -- UP NOW, JIM. ALL WAY ON THE OUTSIDE.
JIM: HERE'S THE PASS, WHAT A CATCH!
LEAPING INTO THE AIR, PULLING IT TOWN IS -- DOWN IS TEE HIGGINS
AND THE BENGALS ARE AN EXTRA POINT AWAY FROM TYING THE GAME.
27 YARDS. TONY: WHEN I TALKED ABOUT THE
ADJUSTMENTS AND HOW HIGH LEVEL THE COACHING STAFFS ARE, THE
QUARTERBACKS, THE SAME WAY. ALL OF A SUDDEN COMING OUT IN
THIS HALF. NOTHING.
JIM: BEEN 60 MINUTES OF REAL TIME SINCE THEY PICKED UP A
FIRST. AND NOW THEY GOT ONE.
GOES BACK TO HARDMAN WHO'S HURT JIM: SECOND AND 5 IT IS.
EIGHT MINUTES TO GO IN THE THIRD.
MAHOMES. STANDING IN THE POCKET.
OVER TO VALDES-SCANTLING WITH THE BLOCKER OUT IN FRONT.
AND KELCE OUT IN FRONT BLOCKING, TOO.
THAT WAS NOAH GRAY. IT WAS KELCE.
BOY, THEY OPENED UP SOME HOLES TONY: A GOOD JOB EARLY IN THE
GAME MOVING KELCE GETTING SPOTS AND COMING AFTER THEM AND HAVE
TO GET IT OUT QUICK. JIM: BOY, THEY'RE COMING.
HERE'S THE PASS. VALDES-SCANTLING.
REACHES HIS HAND OUT BUT THEY'RE GOING TO MARK HIM ABOUT A HALF
YARD SHORT. AND NOW WHAT DO YOU DO ON FOURTH
AND 1? THEY ALREADY SCORED A TOUCHDOWN
ON FOURTH AND 1 EARLIER. THE CLOCK WILL START ON MY
SIGNAL. JIM: WINS THE CHALLENGE BUT
COMES WITH CONSEQUENCES AND OUT OF CHALLENGES AND GIVE HIM THE
FORWARD PROGRESS ON THE REACH-OUT.
VALDES-SCANTLING. TONY: IT'S THE RIGHT CALL.
THIS ANGLE. IF YOU'RE MAHOMES.
HEADS-UP. STAND IN THE POCKET.
FIRE UNDER DURESS. JIM: ON THE POCKET.
ON THE RUN, TO THE END ZONE -- IT'S CAUGHT!
ON HIS BACK! VALDES-SCANTLING!
TONY: TO WIN BIG TIME GAMES, JIM: THEY HAD A CONVERSION ON
THIRD DOWN AND 14 IN THE FIRST HALF.
THIS IS THIRD AND 17. BURROW IS ON THE RUN.
AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE, GETS THE PASS AWAY.
AND IT'S INCOMPLETE. THE BALL WAS TIPPED.
AND INTENDED FOR TEE HIGGINS. AND THE BENGALS WILL PUNT.
TONY: A LOT OF TIMES THESE GAMES AND TRANSFER IT FORWARD.
I SAW IT IN WARM-UPS HE STARTS ON HIS LEFT SIDE.
>> SECOND AND 10. HE'S GOT KELCE WHO DARTS AFTER
THE RECEPTION FOR ANOTHER FIRST DOWN.
YOU WOULDN'T KNOW THAT KELCE WAS AND NEXT TIME YOU MOVE HIM
OUTSIDE. JIM: OH, BOY!
LOOK AT THIS, HUBBARD FALLS ON IT.
SLIPPED OUT OF THE HANDS OF MAHOMES.
TONY: I THINK THIS IS A FUMBLE. AND IF YOU NEVER GET POSSESSION
OF THE BALL EVEN IF YOUR ARM -- YOU -- IT'S GOING TO BE A
FUMBLE, JIM. I NEVER THOUGHT HE GOT IT CALLED
IT AN EMPTY HAND, GENE? GENE: HE DOESN'T HAVE POSSESSION
OF THIS FOOTBALL AND THE HAND GOES FORWARD.
SO WE CALL IT EMPTY HAND. THE FUMBLE BY RULE.
THIS IS A LOOSE BALL. FUMBLE.
TONY: AND THERE'S HUBBARD. GO AHEAD AND GIVE IT TO US.
AND HAVE SOME BIG TURNOVERS IN SUPER BOWL THEY WOULD BE
BACK-TO-BACK YEARS ON THE ROAD. HAVING WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP
GAME. THIRD AND 5, DOWN SEVEN.
IT'S PERINE. TACKLERS ARE THERE.
AND THE CHIEFS' DEFENSE COMES UP BIG AFTER THE TURNOVER.
TO CLOSE OUT QUARTER NUMBER I DON'T THINK THEY'RE TO GO FOR
IT. KANSAS CITY BE SMART.
IF THEY DO THIS IS AGGRESSIVE. JIM: THIS IS AGGRESSIVE.
WHAT YOU CALLED IT. HERE'S THE PASS DOWN THE FIELD.
AND LOOK AT THE CATCH! LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND COMING
DOWN WITH IT IN DOUBLE COVERAGE IS JA'MARR CHASE!
ON FOURTH AND 6 FOR 35 YARDS. STOP HIM IN THE RED ZONE.
WHOEVER DOES THAT MORE OFTEN NOT WINS THIS GAME AND BOTH OF THESE
TEAMS WILL WIN THE BALL. JIM: HIGGINS MOVED TO THE LEFT
SIDE. THEY GO UP THE MIDDLE PERINE BIG
BODY AND PLOWING AHEAD FOR THE TOUCHDOWN!
TONY: HERE COMES CINCINNATI. THE BENGALS.
EVERY TIME YOU THINK IT CAN START GOING THEY GET RIGHT BACK
IN IT. AND EERILY SIMILAR TO LAST YEAR.
JUST A MASH PLAY. GIVEN HIM HIS DUE.
HERE'S THE PASS DUMPING IT OUT TO PACHECO TRYING TO MAKE A MOVE
FIGHTING FOR THAT FIRST DOWN YARDAGE AND ABOUT A HALF YARD
SHY AND GOT A THIRD AND 1. AND AGAIN, THIS IS A TEAM THAT'S
50% ON THE WHOLE SEASON. BUT USUALLY THERE'S MOTION.
JIM: THERE'S THIRD AND A FOOT. AND IT'S PACHECO.
AND HE'S GOT THE FIRST. JUST BARELY.
TONY: AND THEY JUST LINED UP. THEY DON'T NORMALLY DO THIS.
THEY DID SPLASH A LITTLE STUFF THAT SEEMS LIKE YOU'RE NOT
LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT. JIM: LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS WITH
IT. MAHOMES IS DOWN AT THE 24!
B.J. HILL, THERE IS A FLAG, THOUGH, IN THE SECONDARY.
NEAR MID FIELD. TONY: YOU CAN'T GIVE HIM ANOTHER
CHANCE. IT'S GOING TO BE A HOLD ON ELI
APPLE. VALDES-SCANTLING.
REFEREE: HOLDING, DEFENSE, NUMBER 20, FIVE-YARD PENALTY.
AUTOMATIC FIRST DOWN. TONY: OH, MY GOODNESS.
THIS IS SO INCREDIBLY CRAZY THEN -- LOOKS OUT THERE, YOU CAN
WIN AND ONE ON ONE. JIM: THIRD AND 9 THEY'RE
BRINGING IT. THE PASS INCOMPLETE.
IT WAS BEHIND VALDES-SCANTLING. TONY: AND THIS IS JUST A MISS BY
PATRICK MAHOMES AND THIS IS ONLY AND MIXON.
THAT'S HIS LONGEST RUN OF THE NIGHT.
GIVING HIM NOW EIGHT CARRIES FOR 18 YARDS.
THE RUN BY BURROW WAS THE LONGEST RUSH OF THE GAME BY
EITHER SIDE TONIGHT. POCKET SEALED FOR A WHILE.
DOWN THE FIELD TO HIGGINS. OH, AND IT'S TAPPED AWAY AND
INTERCEPTED! THAT WAS COOK WHO GOT A HAND ON
IT. AND THEN IT WAS WILLIAMS WHO WAS
ABLE TO CATCH IT. OFF THE DEFLECTION.
TONY: GAME-CHANGING, GAME-SAVING JIM: SECOND AND 7.
THERE'S A PASS COMPLETE TO THE 29.
TO MARCUS KEMP. AND AT THE LAST SECOND, MAHOMES
THOUGHT ABOUT KEEPING IT. JIM: THE FIRST DOWN AT THE 45.
INSIDE FIVE MINUTES. DUMP IT OFF.
PACHECO. PACHECO BREAKS IT!
PACHECO TO THE 40. AND THE CHIEFS GET A BIG BOOST
FROM THE ROOKIE BREAKING A TACKLE ON THE USUALLY
SURE-HANDED GERMAINE PRATT. TARGET.
BY FAR. TONY: YEP.
OUTSIDE RIGHT HERE, THOUGH. KELCE IS THE RECEIVER.
JIM: HERE'S MAHOMES. TOSSES IT.
MCKINNON. AND HE'S GOING TO BE SMOTHERED
AT ABOUT THE 38. WE HAVE ANOTHER FLAG.
AND THIS IS IN THE OFFENSIVE BACKFIELD.
TONY: HUGE CALL, THOUGH, DO YOU -- IN YOUR LIFE.
JIM: ON FIRST DOWN. GOING UP TOP.
AND GETS IT TO HIGGINS WHO DIVES AT THE END OF THAT FOR A FIRST
DOWN. TONY: RIGHT HERE.
THE STRATEGY -- I WOULD TAKE JIM: HAS TO GET TO THE 27 FOR A
FIRST DOWN. AND THERE'S THE THROW.
WIDE OPEN. IS HAYDEN HURST.
WITH 56 SECONDS TO GO. AND THE BENGALS CONVERT ON THIRD
AND 16. AND THEY'VE DONE A GOOD JOB.
SEE HOW THEY GOT HIM RIGHT THERE?
YOU CAN FOLLOW HIM FROM BEHIND. JIM: HERE COMES CHRIS JONES.
AFTER HIM. CHRIS JONES GOT HIM!
TONY: AND THAT WILL BE A TIME-OUT BY KANSAS CITY.
THEY MOVED, WAITED ALL GAME. THEY PUT HIM ALL THE WAY OUT
OVER THE RIGHT TACKLE. OF FAITH IN THE ROOKIE.
AS CHRISMAN WILL SEND IT HIS WAY.
BACKPEDALS AT THE 20. GOING TO TAKE OFF.
TAKES OFF. AND THIS IS WHY HE'S OUT THERE.
THAT'S SKYY MOORE NEAR THE 50! TONY: ONE OF THESE GUYS HAS TO
STEP UP. JIM: 30 SECONDS.
ONE TIME-OUT FOR THE CHIEFS. MAHOMES.
IN TROUBLE. DUMPS IT OFF.
PACHECO. PACHECO.
TAKING PLAYERS WITH THEM. TO THE 47.
AND THEY TAKE THE TIME-OUT. AND THEY'RE OUT OF TIME-OUTS.
19 SECONDS LEFT. BUT YOU STILL GOT A CHANCE TO
CLOCK IT. TAKE YOUR TEAM AND TAKE THE SHOT
DOWN. JIM: HERE'S MAHOMES.
ROLLING OUT ON THIRD AND 4. GOING TO GO FOR THE -- HE'S GOT
THE MARKER AND HE'S GOT THE OUT OF BOUNDS TO STOP IT.
AND OSSAI WAS HURT AS HE HIT THE BENCH.
AND A FLAG IS COMING IN TO PUT THEM 15 YARDS CLOSER!
TONY: OH, MY GOSH. REFEREE: PERSONAL FOUL, UNNESS
ROUGHNESS -- UNNECESSARY ROUGHNESS, NUMBER 58.
JIM: THAT 15 YARDS WILL TAKE THIS TO INSIDE OF ABOUT 40-YARD
FIELD GOAL ATTEMPT TO GO TO THE SUPER BOWL.
TONY: OH, AND RIGHT THERE, AT THE END.
JIM: GENE? TONY: PLAYING GREAT ALL DAY AND
CAN'T MAKE THAT DECISION. GENE: ON THIS PLAY, YOU CAN
CLEARLY SEE THAT PATRICK MAHOMES BOTH FEET OUT IN THE WHITE AS
HE'S GETTING HIT. THIS IS A LATE HIT OUT OF BOUNDS
ON THE PLAY. JIM: THE BALL GOES ALL THE WAY
TO THE 23. HARRISON BUTKER.
JIM: HERE'S BUTKER. FROM 45 YARDS -- ALL THE WAY,
IT'S GOOD! TONY: CINCINNATI WITH AN
UNBELIEVABLE SEASON, 10 STRAIGHT JIM: AND THEN A BUNCH OF
DESPERATION LATERALS COMING UP. TONY: YEP.
JIM: THERE IT IS. ON THE GROUND.
AND RETRIEVED. BY IRWIN.
HE WILL SWING IT OVER. TO TAYLOR.
AND NOT DOWN YET. HE IS NOW.
IT'S -- IT'S OVER. IT IS OVER.
AND THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS HAVE WON IT!
HEADING TO THE SUPER BOWL FOR THE THIRD TIME IN FOUR YEARS.
AND CINCINNATI FALLS WHICH ARE THE EXACT COUNT -- FALLS BY THE
EXACT COUNT THEY WERE DEFEATED BY THE RAMS AT 23-20 AS WELL.
TONY: ONE OF THE GREAT RIVALRIES FOR A LONG TIME.
JOE BURROW, FANTASTIC SEASON.
