Now, Andy Reid says Eric Fisher's touchdown vs. #RavensFlock came on a play called 'catch and release'. He says Bieniemy designed play.
“Actually that was EB's play,” Reid added at his pre-game day availability. “He’s been bugging me on the plane to run it ever since the Chargers game.”
Down 10 points with 7:13 remaining in Super Bowl LIV, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes connected with Tyreek Hill on a play titled 'jet chip wasp' for a 54-yard gain on 3rd and 15. The play proved to be a turning point in the game for Kansas City, forever etching a spot in Chiefs folklore.
