Over the years there have many plays that can make you hug the complete stranger 2 rows behind you just because of the color of his/her coat. That can make you want to throw a cross body block to the garbage can in the parking lot

A big Bruce sack causing a 15 yd loss with 1:15 on the clock, Thurman squirting out a pile to gain 22 on 3rd and 7 putting us on the 3 yd line with 21 seconds to go, Jimbo in the Kgun, Sestak, any number of plays in the comeback game,  But none bigger than Josh's. 

Watch at least 20 times

A lot. 

Just hit replay and you can watch 10 times in about a minute. 

Just noticed on viewing #64... Van Denmark made the key block at the line opening the gap that Allen ran through.

It's a weird run.  Josh doesn't look nearly as elusive as OJ or as powerful as Cookie.  In fact, it doesn't really look like a difficult run at all.  He breaks a couple of weak tackle attempts before crashing into a defender at the goal line.  

 

But few other QBs could have made that gallop.  Those "weak" attempts at tackling Josh would have brought many other signal callers down.  And the reason the attempts look weak in the first place is because Josh has good vision and chose the right winding path through the defense.  And the defenders underestimated his speed.  


The attempted tackle at the goal line is interesting.  Instead of doing the wimpy QB thing and avoiding the hit, Josh squares up and sort of explodes into the would-be tackler, knocking him on his butt.

 

When you rewind the video and see Josh at the 37 yard line with receivers covered and imagine another QB there in that position, you don't forsee a TD run coming up.  

 

MVP.

Watched it a bunch of times to enjoy and also to hate on the punch thrown after he crossed the goal line.

Great play by Josh in light of the circumstance.  Still, the 52 yard dash vs the Steelers in the playoff game tops my list.

Sometimes when the replay is shown on TV, they don't give the appropriate context.


* Regardless of what the scoreboard or box score says, the Chiefs were playing good defense to that point.

 

*  It's 4th down and if we don't make the 1st down, the Chiefs win.  They'd only need a FG, and they'd be playing with 4 downs.  They'd only need to average 2.5 yards/play to sustain a game winning drive.  

 

*  Casual fans might not know it was not in any way a designed run.  Brady expected Spags to be in man coverage and called a man-beater.  Spags dialed up a zone instead and Josh was surprised to find no one to throw to.  Worse, because the D was in zone, all the defenders were looking at Josh.  That run shouldn't have happened.  It shouldn't have been possible.

While the run was awesome, I feel like he's made a ton of plays like that over the courae of his career.  The national media cleary doesn't realize how frequently he pulls a rabbit out of the hat when a huge play is needed.

 

He had practically the exact same play against Miami but the officials took it off the board with a phantom holding call. I was happy to see him add it back to his career highlight reel, in an even bigger moment.

I was thinking this same thing. What would be the reaction from the fans and media if the Bills hadn’t converted the 4th and 2 and KC wins on a walkoff FG?

 

I’m so glad they converted and we don’t need to discuss that scenario!
