Andy Reid may like to celebrate big wins with a cheeseburger, but he has “Corn Dog” to thank for Kansas City’s comeback victory in Super Bowl LVII.
The Chiefs trailed 24-14 at the half and 27-21 entering the fourth quarter. Nearly three minutes into the final quarter, Kansas City faced a pivotal third down at the Eagles’ five-yard line.
Per NFL reporter Peter King, that’s where “Corn Dog” came into play.
That’s the name of the play Reid called on that third down, which King described as one that gave QB Patrick Mahomes the option to pass or hand off the football.
As King noted, Mahomes’s decision was predicated on how Eagles cornerback Darius Slay played wide receiver Kadarius Toney.
