Did you recognize the Chiefs’ game-winning touchdown on Sunday night? Same thing they beat the Eagles with last year, the dummy inside/zipper motion:

Not sure whether to laugh or cry. It’s such a good play call. Last year, he took advantage of the Eagles’ penchant for rotating and replacing the safety. This year, it looks like San Fran is just playing a flat line of zone, so the two guys on the outside switch their assignments when they see the motion, only to get caught the same way the Eagles did. It looked slightly different because of the defensive coverages, but it was the same play call.

Andy Reid! You dirty dog! He’s out here playing eight-dimensional chess while Brian Johnson and Nick Sirianni are cooking up four verticals on 3rd and 1. Imagine “corn dog” but with only the cholesterol. That’s the Eagles’ version.
