0:00.9 | Brooke, prior you cover the NFL for ESPN. And as we embark on week two tonight featuring two |
0:07.1 | dynamic offenses and the Eagles and Vikings, I wanted to bring you on to talk about your most |
0:11.7 | recent piece. And it actually tackles no pun intended. And under the radar, but possibly seismic |
0:19.4 | shift in the way that offenses are being played in the NFL, your story starts with a really |
0:25.5 | specific play and last season's Super Bowl between the Chiefs and the Eagles. Can you talk us |
0:30.0 | through that play? Yeah, Michelle. There was actually a play. It was late in the first quarter. |
0:37.4 | They're at midfield. The Chiefs have the ball. It is a tight game. And Mark has vowed as scantling |
0:43.9 | runs down the field on a corner route. May have turned into a go route, but he is just streaking |

1:41.5 | probability according to next-gen stats as soon as it left Patrick Mahomes's hand. |
1:46.4 | And when your Patrick Mahomes, let's be honest, that's 100% chance, especially when he's throwing |
1:50.8 | to Travis Kelsey. It went down as a 22 yard reception, but that passed actually only traveled 14 |
1:58.8 | air yards. And then Travis Kelsey picked up the yards after the catch about eight yards afterward |
2:04.8 | to complete the play. And that was Mahomes' longest completion of the Super Bowl. |
2:10.0 | So that's one play. But what does that one play say to you about how quarterbacks are currently |
2:16.1 | playing in the NFL? Well, it means that even if you have a quarterback like Patrick Mahomes, |
