If it's not Mahommes across the field from you, you call it a lot differently. I was just discussing this with a friend....lol.
They weren't even trying to score, they were trying to run KC out of timeouts and time. Think about this.... you're what, 13/19 on 4th down for the year, you have the best wr trio in the league arguably, you've already had a KO returned to the house (called back), and you have PM on the other side of the field and you're potentially leaving him a minute to score if they don't run the kick back. You gonna be aggressive, or piss down your leg like Marvin?
The worst case scenario there was you don't get it, and they have to go 99 yards in less than a minute with no timeouts....or 60 plus to kick. I personally liked it. I can also say some improvements need made.... objectively.
How it played out was exactly what the analytics suggested....we converted because they couldn't cover all three WRs without committing a penalty. We got fresh downs and left Mahommes on the sidelines as we kicked the game winner. We're also division champs two years removed from 2-14.
The QB sneak rarely loses yards, handoffs can.
Handoffs can also lead to fumbles.
