Who gets your game ball?
A lot of memorable and outstanding performances yesterday. Who is your player of the game?
|
Hard to break away from Mahomes here, but Kelce gets my vote.
|
Mahomes put the team on his back... Kelce is a close second..
|
Kelce or Sorenson.
|
Mahomes is the leader. Nothing happens without him.
|
It's impossible to pick. There is no right answer.

Has to be Pat. Kelce was a monster but Pat was the one throwing him the ball.
He IS this team. |
I picked Kelce. Dude balled out. But I think Mahomes is more the cause. But I think you have to give the guy the gameball.
|
3 balls needed.
|
I chose other. That was a team effort.

Dirty Dan

Sorenson. It's almost unfair to say this, but what Mahomes and Kelce did isn't THAT out of the ordinary for them. They're just that damn good. Sorenson swung momentum completely with that fake punt stuff and forced fumble.
|
Mahomes. I almost went Sorensen, but I can see a comeback having happened without his heroics. No chance of one without Mahomes.
|
Sorry to vote against Mahomes and Kelce. But it's Dirty Dan for me by a mile. A lot of people have talked about how 1 defensive TD in that first quarter could have made the Houston lead feel insurmountable. Sorenson stopped that twice. Also keep in mind that he not only prevented 2 potential scores, but both of his turnovers gave Mahomes an extremely short field to work with. He's arguably responsible for a 28 point swing.
I'm sure we still would have taken care of business. But the crowd really got pulled back into it. And you can feel the Texans really getting into their own heads after that second turnover. Mahomes/Kelce put together the more complete game. But Dirty Dan's two plays are 2 of the biggest plays in all of Chiefs history. |
The ol was pretty awesome
|
I went Kelce. If only because the guy was banged up but played out of his mind.
|
Sorensen, because which of us really expected Sorensen to have the awesome game that he did?
|
Sorenson. He single handidly created a 14 point swing when the team had no momentum.

I voted Kelce, although, Dirty Dan also should get one.

Kelce, who has a history of being called out on CP for being unfocused and immature, overcame injury and early drops to go on and have the biggest game of his career.
He gets it for me. He was locked in in a way I’ve never seen him before. |
There really isn't a wrong answer....

Production comes from belief. And make no mistake, when Mahomes talks, teammates listen.

I am proud of the guy he's become. He wasn't going to be denied. I've said it a couple times, but this team is different. There isn't a Chiefs team that I've ever watched that pulls that game out. Either the Defense crumbles after getting us back in the game to blow the game (See 2019 AFCCG for example) or the offense just packs it in and says, "sorry not our day." We've watched many super talented super productive teams shit the bed after far less adversity. It took leadership from a hell of a lot of different guys to pull this shit up by its bootstraps. |
I think it's very much a group effort here.
Kelce was a warrior through injuries. Sorenson made some MASSIVE plays in that 2nd quarter. Clark was a beast in the pass rush and gave Deshaun a ton of trouble. Patrick was the emotional leader and was very accurate today. He rallied the troops and backed it up with his own performance. 7 straight TD drives. That didn't happen by handing the ball to Derrick Henry. |

HOWEVER, it took a lot of leadership on the defensive side that obviously wasn't there last year, to end Texans drives. And Sorensen definitely helped on ST. Those plays deserve the credit they're getting. But there is a substantial difference between this defense and the defense that played the Cheatriots. Hell, there's a difference between this defense and the defense that Houston rammed the ball down our throats earlier in the year. This took the whole team of BAMFs. |
team effort
hardmans return sparked it off dirty dan mahomie kelce clark shit a bunch of game balls this week |

It's so easy to pick Mahomes, and he really deserves a game ball for his performance yesterday. But then he could get nearly all the game balls for every game.
And Kelce is an easy pick also. He is the engine of the offense. And yesterday he had a legendary type performance. But since the defense has been so beleaguered this season, and yesterday they really put together a heck of a game, I'm voting for Dan Sorenson. Dan single-handedly created two short fields with his play, allowing the Chiefs offense to score twice exceptionally quickly, allowing the Chiefs to take the lead in 10 minutes. And he was responsible for the tackle that left HOU short and ultimately not only forced BoB to kick the FG, but burn two TOs in the process. That might not have been possible without his great play. |

He deserves the game ball from CP |
****, that's hard. You can make a very strong argument for Dan, Pat and Travis
|
Saint Patrick, and it's not close
|
Gotta give it to Dirty Dan. That fake punt tackle was the biggest play of the game and may have saved our season.
|
All 4 were very deserving.
I went with Dirty Dan. If he doesn’t make that tackle on the fake punt, the momentum probably swings back to the Texans. We probably still win, but not as easily. Nothing is more deflating than your defense thinking it’s getting off the field...just to have to stay on the field. His hit on the kick off was big time too. |

100% DAN
|
You know what else is crazy? It wasn't the best tackle, but Sorenson is also the guy who stopped Duke Johnson to force 4th and 1 that led to O'Brien dumbly going for 3. So Sorenson was responsible for our first 3 stops, 2 of them resulting in turnovers.
|
Dreamy Dan always brings it come playoffs.
|
Kelce's been a warrior all year long. He's flat out getting mauled. And he's looked flustered and frustrated at times, and if anything sometimes looks like he is too tough on himself. I'll take that over a guy who doesn't care enough. I am really hoping that Sunday's game is a sign that the NFL is finally going to do something about this. Nobody can argue any of the several PI/holding calls he got, but these are blatant calls he hasn't gotten most of the year.

All were worthy but got to give a shout out to Hardman. He was the spark that ignited the comeback flame
|
Andy Reid...

Seeing as how he orchestrated the fastest comeback and subsequent rout in NFL playoff history by calling a game that scored 51 points in 40 minutes. 28 points in less than 10 minutes. It's staggering. You could also say that Spags deserves a game ball for calling a defense that only allowed a single TD in the second half, and only 17 points overall. That's an entire TD below the Texans season average/game. |
Quote:
All of those guys deserve a game ball. ended up voting for Dirty Dan. His plays really swung the game. But so many deserving. |
Look at all those Sorensen votes. Wow.
|
A lot of great takes in here and I agree, you cant argue with any of them. In fact I would probably give out 53 game balls because not one of our guys gave up at 24-0. HUGE TEAM EFFORT!
I guess if I had to give out only one, it would be Kelce. Played hurt and was further injured during the game. Started out dropping balls on third down. Thats a lot for an individual to not only overcome but start Beasting! He simply would not be denied and his energy lifted the team up and said, WE GOT THIS! Again, take nothing away from Patrick, Mecole, Dirty Dan, Frank Clark and really the whole team! |
Quote:
Too many of them showed up huge But yeah, then you stop and think... would any of them have played that hard knowing some jag was the one coming in at QB, would any of them have actually believed they had a shot and kept fighting that hard? When you can’t pick them all, just go with The One |
Sorry, but when a QB puts up those types of numbers he is THE man.
|
Damien is a bit lost in the shuffle as well. 3 TDs.
|
Mahomes is the right choice, but I went Sorensen. Mahomes is brilliant almost every game. Sorensen caused two hugely impactful turnovers when they were badly needed. More than anyone he turned the game around. He deserves some love.
