The game was exceptionally intense.
Nine seconds of game time felt like three whole minutes.
First, the Kansas City Chiefs committed a foul, losing ten yards; then the New England Patriots committed a foul, losing ten yards as well.
Then the Kansas City Chiefs and the New England Patriots got into a physical altercation, causing chaos on the field, and the referee gave both teams a stern warning.
Although Mahomes made a seven-yard short pass to Kelsey, with Kelsey stepping out of bounds to stop the clock; soon after, the Kansas City Chiefs had a critical false start penalty, costing them five yards, once again putting the defending champions in danger.
After Damien pushed forward four yards with the ball, Mahomes attempted a 17-yard pass to Hill standing in the end zone, but the pass was slightly too high. Safety Devin McCourty made what might be the most valuable defensive play of his career, blocking Hill and causing an incomplete pass.
Strikeout!
