I noticed that too, but I don't think it really had anything to do with the fact that Karlaftis got the ball before Kittle could. Kittle had his back to the play because he was blocking. Fooling around and saying hi to Karlaftis wasn't responsible for the situation. McCaffrey fumbled the ball. That is where the blame lies.

I only played college ball but always knew to wait until the play is dead and he did not.

Nah. Without going into too much detail, I know for sure the Chiefs felt this absolutely mattered. Kittle was a talker and that had him not focused in the right way at the right time. Trust me on this one.

Can we please ban this guy? It’s pretty obvious he’s a troll and not a Chiefs fan.

This is a great example of the disparity between Kittle's "awww shucks" attitude vs Mahomes's Killer instinct. One of those things is going to win a lot more games than the other.

I really think their offense was gonna roll on us. Also they were trying to play loose. Worked in the 1st half.

edit they thought

Given how much audio they have recorded, whoever edits these mic'ed videos has so much editorial power to tell the story however they want.
You give 10 different editors the material and you might get 10 different storylines (with the Chiefs winning at the end of all of them). Tell one from the D's perspective, one from the O's perspective, for both teams. The possibilities are plentiful.
Are we going to be treated to the Directors Cut, the Trainer's Cut, etc.?

I'ld probably watch them all.

I imagine almost every player has some sort of last cut. They didn't show the Kelce vs Reid argument. They didn't show the Rice vs Mahomes argument. And they barely showed Purdy say...anything at all. To me that means that Purdy's people didn't want him to be showed. He's probably low energy and boring.

It would be such a cool job to hear absolutely everything uncensored but also frustrating to not share the entire thing.
