Can anyone with rewind/replay see if Miller gave up on a play on KC final drive?

[macnmotion]

Anyone have the ability to replay that last drive by KC? It appeared to me on (I think) 2nd down that Miller flushed Mahomes out of the pocket to Mahomes' right, then Miller just gave up and started walking. Mahomes was then forced by our D near the sideline to turn back in toward the middle. If Miller hadn't given up on the play Mahomes would have turned right into Miller. Maybe I didn't see it all correctly -- I don't have replay/rewind. Anyone? Thanks.

Noticed it too. He looked gassed. Epenesa should have been in 

[russ t. nail]

I don’t have replay but that was 100% what I saw. I was yelling at vonn/the tv as the play was happening. He didn’t listen to me

Yeah, I seen that also---don't know what was happening there.    

 

[gobilz]

Yep just stood there 

[VaMilBill]

Yup. Miller would have had an absolute kill

shot from behind. 
 

you gotta hustle every play against teams like KC

[Ya Digg?]

He did, but I Think he was gassed. He had a really good game, I’m not holding that against him

Thanks. I'm not criticizing the game effort, was just wondering about that play. If he really was gassed, I hope the team takes notice and properly subs him more with someone who can hold a lane and continue pursuit late in the game.

I think aside from what you're talking about, he had a really good game. He was held a ton today and played through what he could when he wasn't being pancaked.

Yeah, there seemed to have been a lot of holding that went unnoticed today 😞

honestly, on both sides. We had those chiefs d-linemen in head locks a lot today too. I don’t mind the refs letting that go both ways.

[TheyCallMeAndy]

He’s 85 in football years, cut him a break. 

[Sojourner]

This is the last play, no lack of effort:

 

 

 

This is the play I feel you are thinking of, definite lack of effort: 

[Maynard]

He looked like Tyson out there. 

[EmotionallyUnstable]

He flashed a couple of times collapsing the pocket today. Actually, aside from a few occasions, I was very pleased with the DL pass rush and ability to rush under control and muddy the waters for Mahomes with nowhere to step up.

 

That said, the play he loafed at the end is very annoying from a highly paid closer

I remember thinking that too, though now looking at it again there were two other players coming at him and Miller was in an actual good position to coral him if he somehow escaped. I don't know it was off of hurry up and he did seemed gassed.

[DaBillsFanSince1973]

man, that was a great win, wasn't it.

That’s a fair point, he probably does make a play if Mahomes doesn’t throw the ball. However, the minute he disengages he’s just jogging along. 
 

Playing that dude you have to give 100% or as close to the ability that you have left at the time. Same when you’re against any great QB. He knows this. That’s why I highlighted the last play too. 
 

Very similar in what’s unfolding but maximum effort on the 4th down in comparison to the 2nd.

Looking at the play above, that seemed like fine effort. The guy gets double teamed and gets around it, but pushed way back out of the play, as Mahomes is scrambling even further forward. I am

not sure there is any DE in the league that is running full-out at that point. The Play was clearly way past Him.

[MPT]

Definitely gave up. He could have made the tackle easily if he had actually followed Mahomes.
