4th quarter, 11:41, 2nd & 10 at the Jags 31 yardline.
Gabbert under center with MJD the lone setback and two receivers out wide with two tight ends in line with the OL, creating a seven-man line.
Chiefs have Jackson at RDE, Poe at nose, DeVito at LDE, Hali off the LT's shoulder and Houston off the RT's. Johnson and Jordan about three yards from the LOS.
Gabbert takes the snap with 1 second left on the play clock. The OL goes straight to manblocking to everybody's left. A TE engages Hali, the LT engages DeVito (who just got a dynamite jump), a guards slips through to get to DJ, the center and other guard double-team Poe, the RT and other TE leave Houston and Jackson unmolested as they race to the second level.
MJD clearly wants to get to the edge but Hali has it set. So MJD tries to hit a sliver of a hole between the LT and LG. DeVito is holding up the LT and DJ has shed the block to plug the hole. MJD tries to find another option but Jackson closes in on him with a vengeance.
MJD is tackled half a yard later when Poe simply wraps him up and Jordan lands on top of him.
Textbook block-shedding, holding the point of attack, and gap integrity.
