However, an extraordinary video of NFL Films shows that the Chiefs had the wrong formation and that the happy ending was another masterclass of adjustments by quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

The announcers said: “It’s the same motion that they did earlier (Toney) when the Eagles blew the coverage on the other side. It’s the same exact play they ran earlier. All they did was swap out Skyy Moore for Kadarius Toney.”

After the game, head coach Andy Reid confirmed that wasn’t true. “They were different plays. My assistant coaches are unbelievable.” Then, during the NFL Films video, Patrick Mahomes and the staff admit they had the wrong formation prior to the play. The MVP quarterback says: “I know. That’s why I went with the motion right.”

Patrick Mahomes confirms that they had the wrong formation because the clock was running down and everyone at the line of scrimmage was just confused.

The moment is just incredible and that play turned out to be crucial to win the Super Bowl against the Eaglesafter taking a 35-27advantage.
