Bruh, I miss football. It’s so weird being the team that everyone wants to beat this coming season. Never experienced this before bc we’re Chiefs fans...... 😅

This pandemic needs a vaccine/therapeutics so we can have tails gates & full stadiums again. 😞

You and me both. I think it's the most beautiful sport in existence, because of how intricate and interconnected everything is!

Great read as usual Seth! I really appreciated the diagram of the play too. it was helpful to see why the defender vacated that area of the field.

I thought so too! Definitely helps with visualization.

That first quarter against Jacksonville was hilarious. Mahomes in 2 years basically ruined that defense that was so good. Imagine this offense with no injuries...

You will never convince me that the Chiefs wouldn't put up 60 that game had Mahomes not gotten hurt, along with Hill.

I was at the Jax game, and the combo of video game scoring and Offense playing 3D chess with Jax — plus the massive Chiefs fan takeover there tailgating and the game made for a dominant Chiefs road experience like none other. Thanks Seth for providing great Chiefs content at a great rate!

With our speed this play design is virtually unstoppable. Good work Seth.

Thanks! And yes, it's very difficult to defend provided the protection holds up. The long-developing nature of the route is the only barrier.

This is why I loved your work at AP and it's what inspired me to subscribe to the Athletic. Love the new format, and thanks for making it so affordable. Best of luck to you, sir. By the way, Mrs. MNchiefsfan, it's definitely a good idea. Once everyone catches on, it's a can't-miss proposition.

Seth, I'll echo what Fred said, I've loved your work for awhile. You were the main reason I subscribed to the Athletic and it was a no-brainer to subscribe here as well. Good luck on this endeavor. I have no doubt you will crush it. I'll be sharing with all my Chiefs fan friends!

That's a goal! I never, ever want price to be a reason people can't read content. But I also don't want to bow at the alter of clickbait. This seems like a way to get the best of both worlds!
