So we’ve got Mahomes replicating the A.I. stepover against Jalen Hurts. That part of it is whatever, like we’re gonna hold the L and try not to be butt hurt losers like the Niners and Cowboys fans, but it feels disrespectful to Hurts, who played a GREAT game. I mean, for Christ’s sake, the guy accounted for four touchdowns and more than 350 yards of offense in the Super Bowl. Even with the fumble and KC defensive score, his performance was high-level and more than good enough to win them the game.
Dunno why this bothers me. It just feels a little insulting to a humble and polite dude who played well. If they insisted on a stepover, put the entire defense in the graphic, or put Andy Reid stepping over Gannon. At least pick something accurate. Both QBs played awesome games, so this image feels like a swing and a miss.
