Chiefs Anatomy of a 4th Down Stop - Page 2

Direckshun · 07:53 AM

1st quarter, 9:33, Patriots up 7-0, ball on the Chiefs 9 yard line:

It is 4th and inches. Brady is under center and the Pats are all OL and TEs, save for Gillislee in the backfield, and Hogan out wide with Mitchell covering.

The Chiefs have Ford and Houston off the edge, with Peters and Parker monitoring the TEs out to the right side of the line. DJ is shuffling presnap to get everyone set -- he already knows where the play is going. Berry patrolling the middle. The DL is all in four point stances with Jones, Logan, Bailey, with Ramik Wilson buried in there somewhere.

The ball is set. Brady calls the snap.

Logan is double-teamed and pushed about a couple yards off the LOS, while Chris Jones juts through the left side of the line, blowing up his side of the line. Ford is walled out of the play by a lineman.

But that's not where the play is run. It's run behind the RG, and Bailey immediately grabs the RG on the snap and shoves him upright and back to where the center was (currently getting push on Logan). The guard is stymied and shoved backwards, clogging the hole Gillislee was supposed to hit.

Houston and Berry hit the gap that Bailey has cleared for them. Houston darts through it, carrying Solder with him. DJ follows Houston's lead, carrying Gronkowski with him, and between the bodies of Gronkowski and Solder, Gillslee hits a wall.

The other TE out right darts out to Parker, leaving a certain All Pro safety completely untouched. Berry knifes between Houston and DJ and finds the legs of Gillslee, freezing him with still a half a yard to go.

Gillislee isn't finished, and can still fall forward -- theoretically. But Logan has recovered and Bailey throws his blocker off, and both collapse on Gillislee, burying him to the turf and ending the down short of the 1st down marker.

Turnover, Chiefs.
