Andy Reid’s name for game-changing Super Bowl play is so on-brand

When you think of Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs, you have to think of Corndogs now.

While it took a Wasp to conquer the San Francisco 49ers four years ago, Andy Reid’s Kansas City Chiefs had to go full-blown Corndog to beat the Philadelphia Eagles.

Reid sat down with Peter King of NBC Sports shortly after winning Super Bowl 57. Although they talked about some of the adjustments his team made after halftime, King was utterly fascinated by the two of the touchdowns the Chiefs scored in the second half, you know, the two where Kadarius Toney and Skyy Moore were WIDE OPEN walking into the end zone for an easy six points.

As it turns out, the play ending in Toney’s trip to the end zone was called, you guessed it, Corndog!

And this is how I imagine Patrick Mahomes called for Corndog in the huddle in the second half.

Andy Reid’s Kansas City Chiefs went full-blown Corndog to win Super Bowl

Prior to this game, when you think of football and corndogs, you think of LSU. Noted Ole Miss fan Katy Perry once told us LSU fans smell like corndogs. It was a great way to get under the skin of Bayou Bengals fans everywhere. But now, when we think of corndogs, we will think of Big Red, big, juicy cheeseburgers and the Chiefs winning another Super Bowl with Mahomes at his apex.

As Reid explained to King on multiple occasions, the play that resulted in Toney’s touchdown was not the same as the one that got Moore his touchdown. Corndog is a run play with a pass-option built into it, while Moore’s unnamed play design was a pass the entire time. The idea is to have the cornerback bite on Toney’s in-breaking route, allowing him to be wide open outside the numbers.

It was a rough second half for Eagles defensive backs. James Bradberry got flagged for a weak sauce holding call, while the Mississippi State alum got beaten relentlessly by a Corndog once again. The SEC West and the Super Bowl are one and the same. If the Ketchup King Mahomes did not put a little extra mustard on that Toney pass, maybe Philadelphia would have burnt to a crisp?

Punt, pass, kick and Corndogs. That is what will go down in the annals of Reid’s football greatness.
