BJ Kissel destroys Dwight Freeney's "Mahomes abused the rules" narrative

This had absolutely nothing to do with the rules.

I think his intent was to go OOB until he saw the impact of Hunt's block. Once he saw that, he pivoted and cut inside. That's RB sort of vision put to its best use.

What I will say is that when I saw that play, it reminded me a very small bit of one of the 49ers QBs against us years ago. Was it Grapes? He had a run down the sideline, looked like he was headed OOB, changed his mind because a seam opened up and planted that left leg to cut inside....

....and it went 'splodey.

Kelce learned the hard way last season that his body won't respond to late/quick movements like it used to. So he just stopped doing it for the most part. He had a half dozen plays where he bulldozed guys last year that he would've cut around in years past.

Toney's gonna have to learn someday that his body will NEVER stand up to that.

Right now PMs will. I hope he learns the lesson cheaply when it no longer will. Because time comes for us all...
