How the Chiefs Won Superbowl 58

dread it run from it they are inevitable in a KGI game full of great design and silly mistakes it was Kanas City's control of the line that saw them secure their second straight Lombardi back to back on them the defense dominated constricting the Niner's rampant rushing attack and consistently creating chaos to confuse Brock pie everything San Francisco tries to achieve on offense runs through mcaffrey so shutting this down was priority number one holding him to just three three and2 yards per carry the Chiefs consistently crashed the center of the line giving him nowhere to run and when Shanahan went wide the chiefs were ready too rallying as a team to keep the star boxed up on Third and short here the Chiefs condensed the line and cramp nine into the box facing 22 Personnel they outnumber the blockers but San Francisco have the advantage running right able to get a lid on a lid and create an angle for mcaffrey by running off tackle however damn near every Chief wins his block and maccaffrey only goes backwards 54 Leo Chanel wins The Edge and forces juice to take him rather than climb to Nick Bolton allowing Bolton to work around this and force mcaffrey inside but there's no cut back Lane as both George caraus and Mike panel have thrown away their blocks with ferocity in the end Bolton's wraparound isn't even needed as Chanel fights through juice too being joined by panel to drag him down for the tackle for loss and this interior pressure was a problem all game long again the ners are going to go off- right tackle from this this time with a toss play but it's completely broken by Chris Jones swapping Sid shortly before the snap Jones's strength and get off are simply too much for Spencer berford fork lifting him before discarding the block getting to Elijah Mitchell before he's even reached the line of scrimmage Jones was joined in his dominant day up front by Mike panel who multiple times completely blew up a play on his own San Francisco use the condensed formation here to win the numbers advantage in the box and have a nice design that initially looks like split Zone with the lead blocker but becomes a counter run off of use che's footwork the blocking starts off good but panel ends it on his own by taking on the best San Fran has to offer watch this for setting his base first getting wide and staying compact to win the block against Trent Williams then forklifting him off his damn feet putting the all proo straight into the dirt and he still has the foresight to disengage and Tackle mcaffrey man that's what you call an elite rep and here it's both D tackles winning as Jones and panel meet at the ball the ners choose Debo to dot the eye this time bringing mcaffry in motion on a similar counter run while Samuel is looking to find an alley backside off the juice kickout block however once again the only place to go is straight into the arms of a chief Defender as Mike panel launches aside berford to stand right in Debo's way being joined by by Chris Jones who stood his man up and peeled off the block to secure the runner defensive linemen weren't the only ones wreaking havoc in the backfield and although he doesn't get anything in the Box for this it's lerus Sneed who destroys this play again trying to go off tackle CMC is completely halted and forced to redirect inside as Sneed slips the down block from auk and then bull rushes Trent Williams back into the running Lane forcing a cut inside where mcaffrey is once again met by Chris Jones missil in from the weak side that's two of the best blockers in the league and sne beats both of them it really has to be a team effort though when you come across such a great Runner and all 11 chiefs were swarming to the ball they almost never got beat to the edge and these safeties hit hard too here CMC won't feel the full brunt of the hit but that's because Eric Reed goes through us check with a thundering shoulder collapsing his body into the runner and taking out his legs in the process and peripheral players on the roster all stood up too the likes of Mike panel and Leo Chanel who would have likely been Targets on the game plan contributed big here Chanel strips him with a punch ending the great momentum of that opening San Francisco Drive stopping mcaffrey on the ground is just one dimension but he's deadly through the air too he had a lot more success there but the Chiefs still did a good job to contain these outside of the throwback making sure to aggressively rally when targeted starting out in a tight bun strips right San Francisco will bring Debo in motion and give perie an RPO option here either handing off to Debo on the jet or throwing the swing to mcaffrey aiming to stretch the defense horizontally and attack those given up Flats fast but the Chiefs are just too damn fast chanal doesn't bite and gets outside maccaffrey to force him inside where he's cleaned up by carus and a Mike Edwards shoulder and that flat contain was also important in stopping Debo this time he'll get the ball off the motion and looks to have two blockers and the wheels to the edge but chanal once again sends him back inside and Bolton and carlus are there for the cleanup now that they forced the Niners into long downs and distances they had a chance to pin their ears back for the passer spaz's creativity caught yet another Super Bowl game plan by surprise but it wasn't without some phenomenal individual efforts to dominate their matchup Chris Jones was a oneman wrecking ball on Sunday and he was trying to squash and hurry Brock per on every available down the ners have a great play call here faking the stretch to mcaffrey then sending three deep off the play action getting Debo wide open but it's Chris Jones to the rescue as he fights through 74s block to hurry pie who has to take a second to adjust to get the throw off firing just a little long as he's crunched to the turf again the 49ers will look to the play action game to take a shot using iuk to drag away the coverage for a double move from KD the routes work to create aot shot but again Chris Jones is denying them a chance to take advantage not biting on the stretch and dismissing the right tackle to go straight after perie and although the youngster does great to avoid him all he can do is find the checkdown where Kansas City have once again rallied forcing this negative San Francisco usually feasts off play action but thanks to great players and some well-timed blitzes this was severely hampered on Sunday continuing his career day Chanel is going to go unblocked to perie thanks to a well-timed rush although motion brings with it many advantages one issue is it can give away the timing of the snap allowing defensive coordinators to bring their Blitz at the last moment not allowing the offense to see it or set a protection to counter it as soon as Chanel sees Debo go back across the formation he triggers his b Gap Blitz running on a free track to perie who can only Scamper wide and throw this away when the game is on the line you know spags as sending it third down and needing the ball back spag send six watch again how late they go with McDuffy rocking back to the slot before firing through the B Gap again getting a free Lane to py and batting down the rushed attempt and with San Francisco threatening to score an OT spags again sends it on the crucial third down the 49ers start empty but bring mcaffrey in motion and again the Chiefs will use this to trigger their Blitz timing there's a bust in protection here and big boy 95 is the last person you can let free with the game on the line backing up this bullish Rush was mcduffy's Sensational work and coverage sticking with routes at all levels of the field showing exactly why he was an all pro this season spags is of course sending the pressure on this long third down and Chris Jones beats any of the extra rushers to pery by dismissing the left guard but mcaffrey does enough to Chip and py does an excellent job to slide and work up with a step on his man perie throws a good deep ball to Debo but the coverage is even better staying tucked to Samuel's hip then timing the vertical leap to Perfection swatting the ball away this time he's up in Debo's face in the stack and does a beautiful job to twist and stay sticky despite a very tricky route Samuel releases outside then gets vertical before cutting back middle on his favorite dig route yet McDuffy remains on him despite the difficult Inside Out workor staying right under Debo on the cut getting his eyes back and playing the ball forcing players to swap rolls as Samuel swats it away and here it is in the short game fantastic recovery to bring down KD it's Shanahan's beloved boot action for the ners and forced to play contained backside McDuffy ends up stumbling and behind his man off the play action but he turns on the Jets and brings him down with a textbook tackle combination of intense pressure and sticky man coverage was enough to force San Francisco out of rhythm and hold them to just 19 in regulation 10 points below their season average spags timed plays well but to me this was won by the players another season in the bag and once again Kermit and the walrus stay at the top the NFL Mountain the scariest part about it is they got this ring in a down year for their offense Mahomes remained creative and clutch when needed most but this was a defensive first team if the Chiefs can find momes an actual ex receiver we might be looking at our first ever three Pat
