The power at the bar was out so I missed that throw to Kelce in real time but it was the same thing - they just walked Neal up there and Smith knew at the snap that he got the matchup he wanted.
The article says that's a 'fake screen' but if Kelce didn't get the 1v1 on Neal, I bet that turns into a real screen. The Falcons just didn't make anything difficult for the Chiefs pre-snap at all. Maybe it was a product of play design and the Falcons simply didn't have a choice (hard to say; I know some stuff but I don't know
all the stuffs). But in either event, Reid was dictating the engagement from start to finish.
This was a Reid W. Smith played well and Berry made the big plays, but Andy Reid won this game by simply being better at his job than the Atlanta DC is at his.
