He purposefully won the game by pantsing Ward. He embarrassed him and made sure he'll never forget it. The Tom and Jerry playcall purposefully put Mecole on Ward's side. The play design pulled the LB's up for a QB run that Patrick did a few plays earlier in the drive. Andy put Ward in the impossible spot of 2 vs 1. He stayed with Kelce so Mecole was wide open. If he went to Mecole, then Kelce would be wide open to win the game.
That's why Kelce didn't even look at Mecole when the play happened. He knew it was over the second Ward followed him. And then Kelce laughed in Ward's face.
Andy can be a spiteful mothr****er sometimes LMAO

That play just keeps working and its starting to make me wonder if there's really any way to defend it with man coverage.
I mean I guess Bosa could go blast Hardman out of the route but really, what else can be done?
And Richard Sherman made an excellent point - Ward probably didn't know where Hardman even was. When the CB sees a guy go in motion and then kinda disappear behind the line, he just has to guess where the guy is going. With as often as Reid has that motion continue, Ward HAD to guess that Hardman would keep going and Kelce was his guy. If he guesses that Ward is going to come across and leaves Kelce, he's equally dead to rights.
And by the time he sees Hardman pop back out of the formation on his side, it's too late to do anything about it.
It was as close to an indefensible play as you'll see against that coverage. I mean - what the hell do you even do to stop that play?
