Chiefs What was the most exciting play of the Chiefs-Texans game?

**Rain Man** · 12:20 AM

I recognize that they were all exciting after the first quarter, but which play was the one that most made you jump off the couch and pump your fist in the air?

Poll coming, but it'll take a while since there were so many touchdowns involved.

Oh, and you can review the plays here. They listed in chronological order in the poll.

Sorensons stopped fake punt or his forced fumble that landed right in Darwin’s hands

**Rain Man** · 01-15-2020, 12:15 AM

I have to say that the kickoff return fumble was the most exciting play of the game for me. The earlier plays were great, but I was still aware that we were notably behind. But when that ball popped out right into Darwin's hands I yelled as loud as I ever have during a Chiefs game. Even though we were still trailing, that was the moment where I knew that we had turned the tide.

This x100

I'm going for the kickoff fumble since it was completely unexpected.

With the fake punt, I was wary of Reid's pre-snap movement, so I wasn't entirely surprised. (and admittedly, I'm always thinking there's going to be some kind of fake by the opponent.)

While the fake punt stop turned TD eased my concerns that we were at least back in the game, the kickoff turnover had me really believing we were going to absolutely blitz the Texans the remainder of the game.

Voted before I read the thread and it looks like we're all in agreement so far. Patrick was the savior, but Dirty Dan's dirty work provided the most exciting moments.

MAHOMO 4 LIFE! · 01-15-2020, 12:22 AM

Dirty Dan saved this game. Everyone should be lining up begging to give him the sloppiest head of all time!

I gasped when the fumble happened but Darwin kind of ruined it bc my dad, brother and I went from “ahhh!!!” to “run the ball!! What are you doing?!?!”

I think this has to be it. This is one of Pat’s finest plays in his career. I watched that and thought he was going to have to throw the ball away or try to slide.

Such an intense moment capped off by Kelce catching it. We all screamed hysterically, hit rewind on the DVR and immediately said “I can’t believe this. How could anyone do that?!?!”

Go ahead touchdown for me. It was just so badass how Mahomes dragged his foot. Dirty Dan punt fake denial second.

This is where I'm at. Looks like we're all in agreement.

I literally jumped out of my seat, hands on my head, in absolute shock. That was when I knew we had a chance.
